The conflict and contact between Muslims and Christians in the Middle Ages is among the most important but least appreciated developments of the period from the seventh to the fourteenth century. Michael Frassetto argues that the relationship between these two faiths during the Middle Ages was essential to the cultural and religious developments of Christianity and Islameven as Christians and Muslims often found themselves engaged in violent conflict. Frassetto traces the history of those conflicts and argues that these holy wars helped create the identity that defined the essential characteristics of Christians and Muslims. The polemic works that often accompanied these holy wars was important, Frassetto contends, because by defining the essential evil of the enemy, Christian authors were also defining their own beliefs and practices. Holy war was not the only defining element of the relationship between Christians and Muslims during the Middle Ages, and Frassetto explains that everyday contacts between Christian and Muslim leaders and scholars generated more peaceful relations and shaped the literary, intellectual, and religious culture that defined medieval and even modern Christianity and Islam.

The writing of this book has been accomplished with the support and advice of many new and old friends. My interest in the topic began long ago with a conference paper I delivered at the annual medieval congress at Western Michigan University, and members of the panel and the audience offered important comments that helped me shape my own understanding of Christian and Muslim relations in the Middle Ages. I explored the topic further in a volume I edited with David Blanks, and I owe my co-editor and the contributors to the volume thanks for their insights into the subject. I should also like to thank the students who took my class on Christian-Muslim relations in the Middle Ages for their attention and their often pointed questions. My thanks as well to Daniel Callahan and Lawrence Duggan, who read chapters of the book and whose advice I did not follow at my own peril, for their comments on this book and their long-standing support of my work. I should thank John Hosler for his very helpful comments on a chapter of the book that he read. The book would not have appeared without the support of my editor, Eric Kuntzman, whose faith in the project helped me greatly to complete the book. My greatest thanks to Olivia and Jill for their love and encouragement through all things medieval and otherwise.

Michael Frassetto has taught medieval and world history at the University of Delaware and at Stockton University.
