Islam has always had ambivalent relations with Judaism and
Christianity, as also with Jews and Christians. The awkwardness of
their character has been accentuated by the creation and
perpetuation, on all sides, of partial and ill-intentioned images
during the middle ages and by political developments in the modern
period. Since the beginning of serious modern study of Islam in the
west, these relations have found an important place in scholars'
interest, partly because many of those in the west who have studied
Islam have been Jews, with a natural attraction to an interest in
those topics which affected Jews and other minorities in the
Islamic environment. In this volume, we have tried to assemble a
collection of papers which reflect something of the diversity of
the problems offered by this range of relations. We have also
attempted to reflect, in the variety of the papers and the topics
discussed in them, the rich variety of approach adopted by scholars
over the last century and a half of such study. Israel Oriental
Studies has ceased publication with volume 20.
