Jews Christians Muslims Medvl
The Multicultural Middle Ages in Spain: Jews, Christians and Muslims
Three-week course, second session
This course is designed to study the different aspects of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Cultural Heritage in medieval Spain. Special emphasis is placed on the contribution of Muslims, Christians, and Jews to Spanish literature, history, religion, philosophy, arts, and sciences. A comparative study of these contributions is an important part of the course. Problems of tolerance and integration, as well as the breakdown of coexistence, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and the end of Muslim power in Spain will also be studied in the course. In class, we will analyze, comment, and discuss primary sources—translated into Spanish—from the period, especially literary documents and historical sources. (.5 unit)
