'... Learning in a Crusader City offers a refreshing look at thirteenth-century Acre as a crossroads of languages and cultures where intellectuals worked and thrived. Scholars of many different disciplines, including interfaith contact, jurisprudence, and translation, will find much to ponder in this narrow, yet illuminating, case study.' Scott G. Bruce, The Medieval Review
'... this is a very strong piece of work and its overall conclusion is both plausible and very well evidenced ... Acre's centrality within the commercial, diplomatic, and crusading networks of the thirteenth century, as well as Rubin's scrupulous attention to other texts connected to the Franks' other Levantine cities, give this work a scope and reach that extends far beyond Acre's ramparts.' Nicholas Morton, The Journal of Religious History, Literature and Culture
'... this book makes valuable contributions to the field of intercultural exchanges ... Rubin draws attention to the wide range of genres available in French, Latin and Hebrew and the intercultural exchanges that took place in the city, in the process relocating Acre from the periphery of the Latin West to identify the city as a centre of cultural exchange in the Latin East.' Danielle E. A. Park, The English Historical Review
'Rubin has successfully put Acre back on the medieval intellectual map, and his work should be of interest not only to historians of the Crusades, but also to anyone interested in the wider topics of learning and intercultural interaction in the Mediterranean World.' George Summers, Comitatus: A Journal of Medieval and Renaissance Studies
