An invaluable collection of texts that Christians and Muslims have written about each other, and each others faith, over the centuries, in a wide variety of languages and in all continents. Theologians, legal authorities, historians, poets, travellers, traders, missionaries and political leaders are all represented An indispensable resource for understanding the relationship between the worlds two largest religious communities. * Professor Hugh Goddard, Honorary Professorial Fellow, University of Edinburgh, UK * These three volumes are a very welcome addition to the growing literature and scholarly interest in ChristianMuslim studies. The period spanning the years 600 to 1914 and the various geographical areas covered, make this a comprehensive collection of sources and a valuable source of learning for the beginner and the established scholar. * Professor Mona Siddiqui, Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies, University of Edinburgh, UK * These volumes contain translations of original texts that show the diversity of perspectives that Muslims and Christians have had - and perhaps still have - of each other during a period of fourteen centuries. These texts provide indispensable background materials to the student and the teacher, but are also a fascinating read for anyone interested in Muslim-Christian relations through the centuries. * Professor Maurits S. Berger, Professor of Islam and the West, Leiden University, The Netherlands *
