Download or read book Franks, Muslims and Oriental Christians in the Latin Levant written by B. Z. Ḳedar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steven Runciman characterized intellectual life in the Frankish Levant as 'disappointing'; Joshua Prawer claimed that the Franks refused to open up to the East's intellectual achievements. The present collection, the second by Benjamin Kedar in the Variorum series, presents facts that require a modification of these still largely prevailing views. The subjects covered range from the earliest laws of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, to intercultural contacts between Franks and Muslims, and studies of specific locations, Acre in particular.
