The differences between Islam and Christianity erected strong barriers separating two global cultures, but, as this volume indicates, despite many attempts to 'Other' the opposing side, the premodern world experienced an astonishing degree of contacts, meetings, exchanges, and influences. Scientists, travelers, authors, medical researchers, chroniclers, diplomats, and merchants criss-crossed the East and the West, or studied the sources produced by the other culture for many different reasons. As much as the theoretical concept of 'Orientalism' has been useful in sensitizing us to the fundamental tensions and conflicts separating both worlds at least since the eighteenth century, the premodern world did not quite yet operate in such an ideological framework. Even though the Crusades had violently pitted Christians against Muslims, there were countless contacts and a palpable curiosity on both sides both before, during, and after those religious warfares. 410 0$aFundamentals of Medieval and Early Modern Culture 606 $aEast and West$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography 607 $aAsia$xRelations$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xRelations$zAsia 610 $aEast-west contacts. 610 $ainterculturality. 610 $aorientalism. 610 $atoleration. 615 0$aEast and West$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography. 676 $a909.07 701 $aClassen$b Albrecht$016691 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787648903321 996 $aEast meets West in the Middle Ages and early modern times$93815140 997 $aUNINA
