This volume offers up-to-date insights into the state of library
and information science (LIS) in the Middle East and North Africa.
Covered topics include information literacy, intellectual property,
LIS education and research, publishing and more. This timely
contribution thus presents vital areas of research on a region that
receives relatively little coverage and is currently experiencing
rapid and significant changes.
It is commonly held that medieval Christians viewed medieval Jews
in exclusively negative terms. This is certainly the dominant
opinion in much twentieth-century scholarship, and it is not wholly
without justification. It is, however, an opinion that does not
accurately reflect the breadth of medieval German Christian
thinking about medieval German Jews. Drawing on Passion plays,
hagiographical narratives and didactic literature, this monograph
reveals a hitherto largely unacknowledged diversity in medieval
German representations of Jews. In many of the best-attested texts
from the late medieval and early modern periods, Jews appear in
German literature as sympathetic, even morally exemplary figures.
