Jews, Muslims and Christians In and Around the Crown of Aragon
Essays in Honour of Professor Elena Lourie
Series: - The Medieval Mediterranean, Volume: 52
Editor:
This volume, in honour of Professor Elena Lourie, focuses on various areas of interaction between Jews, Muslims and Christians in the late medieval Crown of Aragon and its environs. The articles deal with topics such as war, military campaigns, government, politics, and economics, relations between scholars of the different faiths and their sources, sexual relations and the politics of conversion, mythology and music. Other articles touch on issues such as vassalage, mercenaries, fiscal politics, communal politics and the inquisition. This book presents a mosaic of studies written by three generations of scholars who, using a broad variety of sources and methodologies, examine areas of great interest to Elena Lourie.
Harvey J. Hames, Ph.D. (1996) in History, University of Cambridge is a senior lecturer at Ben Gurion University, Beersheba. He has published extensively on medieval polemics including The Art of Conversion: Christianity and Kabbalah in the Thirteenth Century (Brill, 2000).
