Pluralism in the Middle Ages (eBook, ePUB)

Hybrid Identities, Conversion, and Mixed Marriages in Medieval Iberia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In exploring Islamic and Christian legislations about mixed marriages and conversion, Pluralism in the Middle Ages examines the construction of boundaries between religious groups, in contrast to instances of hybridity. It argues that Muslims and Christians in medieval Iberia did not constitute clearly separated groups, since various categories of people haunted the boundaries between them.
