Law and Religious Minorities in Medieval Societies: Between Theory and Praxis: de La Teoria Legal a la Practica En El Derecho de Las Minoria Religiosas En La Edad Media

Law and Religious Minorities in Medieval Societies: Between Theory and Praxis: de La Teoria Legal a la Practica En El Derecho de Las Minoria Religiosas En La Edad Media

Muslim law developed a clear legal cadre for dhimmis, inferior but protected non-Muslim communities and Roman Canon law decreed a similar status for Jewish and Muslim communities in Europe. Yet the theoretical hierarchies between faithful and infidel were constantly brought into question in the daily interactions between men and women of different faiths in streets, markets, bath-houses, law courts, etc. The twelve essays in this volume explore these tensions and attempts to resolve them. These contributions show law was used to attempt to erect boundaries between communities in order to regulate or restrict interaction between faithful and non-faithful and at the same time how these boundaries were repeatedly transgressed and negotiated. These essays explore the possibilities and the limits of the use of legal sources for the social historian.
