"The collection is a valuable contribution to the broader conversation of cross-cultural exchange that well describes Christian/Islamic interaction within the Mediterranean."—Drew Narayanan, Material Religion"The volume presents a captivating array of micro-historical case studies in which two of the world’s largest religions, Islam and Christianity, meet, engage, and intermingle."—Leon Barkho, Muslim Heritage"In what is often an unwieldy field, the editors have set out clear frameworks which help the reader find accessible glimpses into specific examples."—Justine M. Andrews, The Medieval Review"The strength of the contributions and the intent of this volume lie in exploring as yet little-examined areas of objects of very different materiality. The individual contributions are carefully edited and documented, combining research on objects or structures with historical contextualizing text sources and archival materials."—Bärbel Beinhauer-Köhler, ArtHist.net“An original and valuable addition to the growing number of studies on Christian-Islamic artistic interactions in the greater Mediterranean. By the breadth, both geographical and in terms of the variety of works and media covered, and the depth accorded the case studies in each chapter, it sheds new and different light on reasons for them.”—Scott Redford, SOAS University of London"There are not many essay volumes where the editors have consciously adopted a Mediterraneanist approach with such fruitful results." —Mariam Rosser-Owen, Victoria and Albert Museum"The voices of authors in this volume can be added to an expanding chorus of scholars who orientate their output towards what has been termed 'The Global Turn’, the effort to make global processes manifest at multiple levels—transnational, regional, national, and local—all of which are interconnected and mutually constitutive; essays encompass ‘microhistorical’ case studies across the media of architecture, sculpture, pottery, metalwork, textiles, book binding, and even cosmetics, painting a ‘macrohistorical’ picture that emphasises connections across the Mediterranean world." —George Manginis, Benaki Museum
