Explores the significance of the Islamic-Byzantine border from the rise of Islam to the end of the CrusadesPresents the first work dedicated entirely to the Islamic-Byzantine BorderProvides a comparative perspective, featuring both leading Byzantinists and leading researchers of the Islamic worldUniquely offers a broad chronological perspective, showing the longue dur e rather than focusing on a specific periodOne of the most formative areas and periods of historical inquiry, across the fields of Mediterranean history, Byzantine history, Islamic history and the history of Muslim-Christian relations, is the long warfare between the Islamic and Christian worlds in the period that began with the Islamic conquests of the formerly Byzantine lands of the Eastern Mediterranean in the 630s CE and ended with the closing of the Crusades in the Levant c.1300 CE.This cross-disciplinary book offers a broad spectrum of essays on important aspects of the political, social, religious and historical importance of the Islamic-Byzantine border between 630-c.1300CE, and in particular on the manifold ways in which the Islamic-Byzantine border affected the internal development and culture of each of the two civilisations.
