Muslim-Jewish Relations in the Middle Islamic Period

Jews in the Ayyubid and Mamluk Sultanates (1171-1517). Edited by Stephan Conermann. The book contributes to the history of medieval Jewry in general, as a basis for a comparative study of the position of the Jews in Christian Europe in the Late Middle Ages. The eight articles written by leading experts on this topic pay special attention to the following issues: the measure of tolerance of the Mamluk rulers and the Muslim populace toward the Jews; Jews in government positions and as court physicians; conversion and attitudes toward converted Jews; the Sufi (mystical) nature of Jewish leadership and its relation to the Sufi Islamic discourse. With contributions by Dotan Arad, Paul B. Fenton, Miriam Frenkel et al. 198 Seiten, gebunden (Mamluk Studies; Vol. 16/V&R unipress/Bonn University Press 2017) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
