Christian–Islamic encounters through religious arts, architecture, and material culture in the medieval eraThe coexistence of Christianity and Islam in the medieval Mediterranean led to an interchange of knowledge in architecture and material culture that went well beyond religious and geographical boundaries. The use of Islamic objects in Christian contexts, the conversion of churches into mosques, and the mobility of craftsmen are only some manifestations of this process. From crosses found in mosques to European-Christian coins with pseudo-shahada inscriptions, medieval material culture is rich with visual evidence of the two faiths intermingling in both individual objects and monuments. In this volume, thirteen international scholars explore various aspects of pan-Mediterranean Christian-Islamic encounters in material culture and art, from textiles to precious oils, and from metalwork to ceramics, covering most of the Mediterranean, as well as parts of its extended hinterland, from Spain and Italy to Egypt and Georgia. Within this frame, one of the most relevant, yet underexplored lines of investigation is that of the “aesthetic space,” the notion that aesthetic pleasure transcends boundaries, paving the way to a cross-religious experience and appreciation. “Indeed, God is beautiful, and He loves beauty,” as mentioned in a Hadith narration, a universal cry of visual beauty that resonates with all cultures and civilizations.Contributors:Paschalis Androudis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, GreeceFaruk Bilici Inalco, Paris, FranceMaria Bormpoudaki Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, Piraeus, GreeceSami Luigi De Giosa University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab EmiratesHélène Fragaki University of Augsburg, Augsburg, GermanyHani Hamza Independent scholar, Cairo, EgyptAna Cabrera Lafuente Instituto de Turismo de España (Turespaña/Tourspain), Madrid, Spain Alison Ohta Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, London, United KingdomRichard Piran McClary University of York, York, United Kingdom Nino Simonishvili Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, GeorgiaNikolaos Vryzidis University of West Attica, Athens, GreeceArielle Winnik Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, United States

This edited collection opens a window into the world of Byzantine and post-Byzantine textiles by exploring the different traditions that developed in the Eastern Mediterranean from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern era. The book’s editors and contributors have created a complex scientific canvas, based on their complementary interests and expertise. The book, which aspires to fill a significant void in Greek literature, is characterized by this spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration; it offers an overview of the most important local textile products, together with the Eastern and Western imports that used to reach the busy markets of Byzantium and Ottoman Greece. The aim is to showcase this important, yet still obscure, facet of material culture. Within this frame, its chapters discover different aspects of economic, social, religious and artistic history; most of them interwoven in the study of textiles, much like a loom’s warp and weft for the production of elaborate designs.
