Cohen's 'The Friars and the Jews' is a must. I would add: Anna Sapir Abulafia 'Christians and Jews in the twelfth-century Humanism', London 1995. The central idea of the book is the correspondence between the emergence of a Christian humanism in the 12th century and the dehumanization of non-Christians: they become demons or animals. Jonathan Elukin from Trinity College, Hartford CT is working on a comprehensive history of Christian-Jewish relations in medieval Europe. He wants to put into question the emphasis on persecution as the central characteristic of those relations.
