medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Incidentally, and related to Tom's reference, I saw that Ken Wolfe's book _Christian Martyrs in Muslim Spain_ is now avaliable on-line : http://libro.uca.edu/martyrs/martyrs.htm (so you don't have to get on your bike and visit the Archibald Alexander Library ...) Frans van Liere Department of History, Calvin College 1845 Knollcrest Circle SE Grand Rapids, MI 49546-4402 e-mail: [log in to unmask] http://www.calvin.edu/academic/history/faculty/vanlieref/ >>> Tom Izbicki <[log in to unmask]> 12/11/2007 11:14 AM >>> medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture One difficult period is documented for 9th century Spain, see the recent books on the Cordoba martyrs: ** Mark *The martyrs of Córdoba : community and family conflict in an age of mass conversion* Coope, Jessica A., 1958- *1995* owned by: Archibald S. Alexander Library (College Avenue) *#2* Mark *Christian martyrs in Muslim Spain* Wolf, Kenneth Baxter, 1957- *1988* owned by: Archibald S. Alexander Library (College Avenue) *#3* Mark *The martyrs of Córdoba (850-859) A study of the sources* Colbert, Edward P. *1962* owned by: Archibald S. Alexander Library (College Avenue) Ideas of Convivencia in Spain should not be exaggerated, although there was plenty of contact. Thus the first Latin translation of the Koran was made in Toledo for Peter the Venerable in the 12th century. See most recently: *Burman, Thomas E.* <http://www.iris.rutgers.edu/uhtbin/cgisirsi/gAde1loFbQ/ALCOHOL/26240381/18/X100/XAUTHOR/Burman,+Thomas+E.> Title: Reading the Qur'̄an in Latin Christendom, 1140-1560 / Thomas E. Burman. Publication info: Philadelphia : University of Pennsylvania Press, 2007. I first learned about this in an older book: Personal author: Kritzeck, James. Title: Peter the Venerable and Islam. Publication info: Princeton, N.J., Princeton University Press, 1964. Physical descrip: xiv, 301 p. 25 cm. Tom Izbicki George R.
