Wechselseitige Wahrnehmung der Religionen im Spatmittelalter und in der Fruhen Neuzeit: I. Konzeptionelle Grundfragen und Fallstudien (Heiden, Barbaren, Juden)

This volume combines a number of approaches to the history of the conflict between religions and cultures. Contributions from history, art and legal history, as well as Judaistic studies deal with new conceptual considerations on the history of perceptions in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period; above all interpretations of non-European religions, of paganism in their own European tradition, and how ecclesiastic law treated "non-believers” in relation to the heretics. The second volume is in preparation.
