Dante and Islam

Beschreibung

Controversy has raged about Christian perspectives on Muslims in Dante's Divine Comedy. One extreme emphasizes "clash of civilizations," another peaceful cohabitation. Dante's fit within orientalism remains debated. Sifting the issues requires investigating the Qur'an and Islamic learning, Dante's images of Muhammad, and engagement among Muslims, Jews, and Christians in Italy.

Autor

Jan M. Ziolkowski is Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin at Harvard University, and Director of Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection. His research into the Latin Middle Ages has concentrated on the classical tradition, especially Virgil (The Virgilian Tradition: The First Fifteen Hundred Years and The Virgil Encyclopedia); the grammatical and rhetorical traditions; and the relationship of folk tales and vernacular epics with Latin. In Dante scholarship an edited volume on Dante and the Greeks is in press.
