Intercultural Contacts in the Medieval Mediterranean: Studies in Honour of David Jacoby

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.
