This volume of 23 essays by leading medievalists, in honour of Professor David Jacoby on his retirement from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, touches upon many aspects of intercultural links in the medieval mediterranean. The topic is perceived in the widest perspective, and covers not only strictly cultural and religious contacts, but also political, military, ethnic, social, institutional, scientific and technological relationships. The long-lasting convergence, under varying circumstances, between Christians, Muslims and Jews, the intricate interaction of Latin and Byzantine institutions, the interplay between law and custom, between public authority and private legal praxis, the meeting of different medical traditions, and the phenomenon of Christian multiculturalism in the Levant are among the issues dealt with in this book; its main protagonists are Aragonese, Castilians, Arabs, Cypriots, Rhodians, Venetians, Genoese, Cretans, Byzantines, Sicilians and Jews, who all rubbed shoulders in the Mediterranean world during the medieval centuries.

This volume presents evidence of the extent and effects of intercultural contacts across Europe and the Mediterranean rim, opening up a new understanding of early medieval civilisation and its continuing influence in both Western and Eastern cultures today. From the perspectives of textual transmission, cultural memory, religion, art and cultural traditions, this work explores the central question of how ideas travelled in the medieval world, challenging the conventional notion of insular communities in the Middle Ages. Despite the schism between East and West that took hold after the thirteenth century this volume reveals a rich and extensive cultural exchange and demonstrates that transmission of ideas and culture across borders began much earlier than the Crusades. It contributes to new perspectives on medieval cities, Christian Europe's history with the Byzantine and Islamic Mediterranean, the landscape of power and the power-plays of the medieval Church, and the way in which cross-cultural transmission affected all of these areas.
