Introduction

Résumé

This special issue brings together nine articles under the rubric “Christianity and Islam in the Middle Ages: between coexistence and conflict”. The articles explore various aspects of the intellectual, social, legal and ideological aspects of relations between Christians and Muslims. The title of our issue might seem to suggest binary oppositions which in fact the articles dissipate. In the Middle Ages, Muslims are in fact a numerical minority amongst the populations of what we tend to call the “Islamic world”, where a plurality of Christian communities and churches flourish (alongside communities of Jews, Zoroastrians, and others). In fact, a Christian in the “Muslim” world was arguably much less likely to face religious persecution than a Christian in Latin Europe, where religious elites defined an increasingly narrow orthodoxy and marginalized those outside of it through what one historian has dubbed “the formation of a persecuting society”.
