The volume provides the reader with the possibility to appreciate and understand the complexity of Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations in the medieval North. The contributions cover topics such as cultural and economic exchange between Christians and members of other religions; evidence of actual Jews and Muslims in the Baltic Rim; images and stereotypes of the Other.The volume thus presents a previously neglected field of research that will help nuance the overall picture of interreligious relations in medieval Europe.JewsScandinaviaHistoryTo 1500CongressesMuslimsScandinaviaHistoryTo 1500CongressesJewsBaltic Sea RegionHistoryTo 1500CongressesMuslimsBaltic Sea RegionHistoryTo 1500CongressesScandinaviaEthnic relationsCongressesBaltic Sea RegionEthnic relationsCongressesElectronic books.Interreligious Relations.Medieval Studies.Theology.JewsHistoryMuslimsHistoryJewsHistoryMuslimsHistory305.892/40480902Hess CordeliaAdams Jonathan1971 December 19-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910131442203321Fear and loathing in the North1989274UNINA05568nam 2200721 a 450 991097061160332120251116190952.01-136-37064-11-281-01420-697866110142091-4294-8435-70-08-049791-8(CKB)1000000000350516(EBL)296802(OCoLC)437182162(SSID)ssj0000230763(PQKBManifestationID)11190430(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000230763(PQKBWorkID)10198567(PQKB)10450445(MiAaPQ)EBC296802(Au-PeEL)EBL296802(CaPaEBR)ebr10180888(CaONFJC)MIL101420(OCoLC)61529984(FINmELB)ELB153837(EXLCZ)99100000000035051620050204d2004 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrPurchasing and financial management of information technology /Frank Bannister1st ed.Oxford ;Burlington, MA Elsevier/Butterworth-Heinemann20041 online resource (385 p.)Computer weekly professional seriesIncludes index.0-7506-5854-1 Cover; Purchasing and Financial Management of Information Technology; Copyright Page; Contents; Computer Weekly Professional Series; Preface; Chapter 1.
