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.
