Subject: [M-R] Cross-cultural exchange of ritual practices
> medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
>
> Dear Members of the List,
>
>
> I am looking for some suggestions regarding the cross-cultural exchange of
> ritual practices, especially in (but not limited to) early medieval times.
> Currently, I am doing research on my PhD project which focuses medieval
> excommunication rituals. Thereby, I stumbled across some hints regarding
> the Jewish ban (the 'cherem'), which consists of a similar ritual
> framework compared to its Christian counterpart.
>
> In this context, I have two rather general questions:
>
> 1. Could you give to me some bibliographical hints regarding some examples
> of a cross-cultural exchange of ritual practices (especially between Jews
> and Christians, but maybe also between Christians and Muslims)?
>
> 2. Do you know some methological approaches to the 'interculturality' of
> rituals and ceremonies (apart from holistic anthropological approaches - I
> know them already ...)?
>
> Best regards,
