in the history of Christian-Muslim relations is appraised, including its influence on later works. There follow sections listing publication details (manuscripts where known, and then editions and translations) and studies, both intended to be fully up to date at the time of going to press. With this coverage, CMR 11 provides sufficient information to enable a work to be identified, its importance appreciated, and editions and studies located. Each work is also placed as far as is possible together with other works from the same region written at the same time, though this grouping should be regarded as more a matter of organisational convenience than anything else. Proximity between works in the bibliography is definitely not an indication of any necessary direct relationship between them, let alone influence (though this may sometimes be discernible). In this period, it is as likely that an author would be influenced by a work written hundreds of miles away or hundreds of years before as by another from their immediate locality or time. The composition of CMR 11 has involved numerous contributors, who have readily and often enthusiastically agreed to write entries.

A printing error occurring between the final proof and printing stages resulted in a faulty Index. Corrections (along with a proper attribution for the cover image) appear here and will be included in the reprinted edition of the book.

The Bloomsbury Reader in Christian-Muslim Relations, 600-1500

2022

This Reader brings together nearly 80 extracts from major works by Christians and Muslims that reflect their reciprocal knowledge and attitudes. It spans the period from the early 7th century, when Islam originated, to 1500. The general introduction provides a historical and geographical summary of Christian-Muslim encounters in the period and a short account of the religious, intellectual and social circumstances in which encounters took place and works were written. Topics from the Christian perspective include: condemnations of the Qur'an as a fake and Muhammad as a fraud, depictions of Islam as a sign of the final judgement, and proofs that it was a Christian heresy. On the Muslim side they include: demonstrations of the Bible as corrupt, proofs that Christian doctrines were illogical, comments on the inferior status of Christians, and accounts of Christian and Muslim scholars in collaboration together. Each of the six parts contains the following pedagogical features: a short introduction, an introduction to each passage and author, and notes explaining terms that readers might not have previously encountered.
