Informationen zum Autor Edited by Joseph V. Montville - Contributions by Mark R. Cohen; Olivia Remie Constable; Ahmad Dallal; Thomas F. Glick; Diana Lobel; Kathryn A. Miller; Joseph V. Montville and Raymond P. Scheindlin Klappentext This collection of essays by seven scholars is a straightforward narrative of real world-intellectual, commercial, spiritual, philosophical, scientific, aesthetic-creative engagement among Jews, Muslims, and some Christians in daily life in Spain and around the Mediterranean. History as Prelude is a major contribution to the Israeli-Arab peace process because it undermines-in fact, blows away-the efforts of propagandists who serve governments or political movements to negate the reality of the Arab-Jewish relationship in the medieval Mediterranean. The contributors, in unassuming, well-researched scholarship have erected a wall protecting historical reality from distortion, providing irrefutable-and often delightful-examples of creative coexistence.
