| Popis: | Medievalists tween Christians, Muslims, and Jews in the Middle Ages. One treats Latin Christian Europe as a religiously unified society locked in conflict with the Jewish minority in its midst and the Muslim world beyond its borders. Latin Christians, who regarded all other groups as a single religious 'other', onto which they projected their anxieties over power and status, forged an intolerant, persecuting society.1 The second, contrasting, model paints a sunnier picture. By stressing the amount and variety of trade among Christians, Muslims, and Jews, it portrays medieval Christendom as open to peaceful contact with other religions.2 The third model, influential since the period of European colonization in the nineteenth century, avoids both the first's stress on religious unity and the second's focus on peaceful contact. It emphasizes the competition among the Christian powers of medieval Europe to dominate non-Christian lands.3 |
