Offers fifteen interdisciplinary studies that investigate the complex relationships between the cultures of Jews and Muslims during the medieval and early modern periods. They reveal that, for the most part, Jewish-Muslim relations were peaceful and involved intellectual and professional cooperation. Sure to provoke controversy and discussion, this focuses on a period of free exchange between these two cultures that resulted in seminal breakthroughs in math, science, and medicine.
