The Pseudo-historical Image of the Prophet Muhammad in Medieval Latin Literature
Exploring and understanding how medieval Christians perceived and constructed the figure of the Prophet Muhammad is of capital relevance in the complex history of Christian-Muslim relations. Medieval authors writing in Latin from the 8th to the 14th centuries elaborated three main images of the Prophet: the pseudo-historical, the legendary, and the eschatological one. This volume focuses on the first image and consists of texts that aim to reveal the (Christian) truth about Islam. They have been taken from critical editions, where available, otherwise they have been critically transcribed from manuscripts and early printed books. They are organized chronologically in 55 entries: each of them provides information on the author and the work, date and place of composition, an introduction to the passage(s) reported, and an updated bibliography listing editions, translations and studies. The volume is also supplied with an introductory essay and an index of notable terms.???

Crusading Peace
Tomaz Mastnak's provocative analysis of the roots of peacemaking in the Western world elucidates struggles for peace that took place in the high and late Middle Ages. Mastnak traces the ways that eleventh-century peace movements, seeking to end violence among Christians, shaped not only power structures within Christendom but also the relationship of the Western Christian world to the world outside. The unification of Christian society under the banner of \"holy peace\" precipitated a fundamental division between the Christian and non-Christian worlds, and the postulated peace among Christians led to holy war against non-Christians.

What Went Wrong?
For a long time, people in the Midlle East have been asking themselves and each other this agonizing question - what went wrong? How did the most advanced, creative, flourishing, enlightened, and also the richest and most powerful civilization in the world lose both its strength and leadership and become - in various perspectives - the victim, the prey, the war, the pupil of the West. This book examines the different aspects of the encounter with the West - guns, factories, parliament, monogamy, technology, the sciences and the arts, and the Middle Eastern response to them. Finally, it reviews the different ways in which this question has been formulated, the various diagnoses of what ails the Middle East, and the prescriptions for its cure.
