This volume presents evidence of the extent and effects of
intercultural contacts across Europe and the Mediterranean rim,
opening up a new understanding of early medieval civilisation and
its continuing influence in both Western and Eastern cultures
today. From the perspectives of textual transmission, cultural
memory, religion, art and cultural traditions, this work explores
the central question of how ideas travelled in the medieval world,
challenging the conventional notion of insular communities in the
Middle Ages. Despite the schism between East and West that took
hold after the thirteenth century this volume reveals a rich and
extensive cultural exchange and demonstrates that transmission of
ideas and culture across borders began much earlier than the
Crusades. It contributes to new perspectives on medieval cities,
Christian Europe's history with the Byzantine and Islamic
Mediterranean, the landscape of power and the power-plays of the
medieval Church, and the way in which cross-cultural transmission
affected all of these areas.
