Jews and Christians in the Muslim World to 1800

Catalog description

The course focuses on Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communal relationships from the seventh century to the end of the eighteenth century in Southwest Asia, North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula. Topics include intra- and inter-communal cultural, political, and commercial developments, as well as the status of minorities within these religious groups. This course does not emphasize the specific doctrines of these religions, but rather investigates how people of different faiths lived together.
