Wechselseitige Wahrnehmung der Religionen im Spatmittelalter und in der Fruhen Neuzeit: I. Konzeptionelle Grundfragen und Fallstudien (Heiden, Barbaren, Juden)

by Ludger Grenzmann (Editor), Thomas Haye (Editor), Thomas Kaufmann (Editor), Nikolaus Henkel (Editor)

Overview

This volume combines a number of approaches to the history of the conflict between religions and cultures. Contributions from history, art and legal history, as well as Judaistic studies deal with new conceptual considerations on the history of perceptions in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period; above all interpretations of non-European religions, of paganism in their own European tradition, and how ecclesiastic law treated "non-believers” in relation to the heretics. The second volume is in preparation.

Editorial Reviews

"Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass die lesenwerten Bände dem fächerübergreifenden Gespräch zu einem aktuellen und brisanten Thema weitere Impulse geben werden."
Hans-Martin Kirn in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 6/2014

"The perception and interpretation of other religions in the later Middle Ages and early modern period [...] is a topic currently much in vogue. The particular contribution of this volume is to combine some significant theoretical contributions [...] with case studies on topics as diverse as the carcasses of birds of paradise [...].
Medium Aevum, LXXIX, 2010
