Covering Portugal and Castile in the West to the Latin Kingdom of
Jerusalem in the East, this collection focuses on Muslim minorities
living in Christian lands during the high Middle Ages, and examines
to what extent notions of religious tolerance influenced
Muslim-Christian relations. The authors call into question the
applicability of modern ideas of toleration to medieval social
relations, investigating the situation instead from the standpoint
of human experience within the two religious cultures. Whereas this
study offers no evidence of an evolution of coherent policy
concerning treatment of minorities in these Christian domains, it
does reveal how religious ideas and communitarian traditions worked
together to blunt the harsh realities of the relations between
victors and vanquished. The chapters in this volume include "The
Mudejars of Castile and Portugal in the Twelfth and Thirteenth
Centuries" by Joseph F. O'Callaghan, "Muslims in the
Thirteenth-Century Realms of Aragon: Interactions and Reaction" by
Robert I. Burns, S.J., "The End of Muslim Sicily" by David S. H.
Abulafia, "The Subjected Muslims of the Frankish Levant" by
Benjamin Z. Kedar, and "The Papacy and the Muslim Frontier" by
James M. Powell. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
