Book Synopsis
Medieval Latin Lives of Muhammad helps trace the persistence of old cliches as well as the evolution of new attitudes toward Islam and its prophet over five centuries in Western culture. This volume brings together a highly varied and fascinating set of Latin narratives and polemics never before translated into English.

Trade Review
Indispensable for all future scholarship related to the European Muhammad. -- David M. Freidenreich * Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations *
Clear and richly annotated. This collection will be of interest to scholars of medieval polemical literature, the history of Arabic-to-Latin translation, and sources on Christian-Muslim relations. The translations, for their part, will be invaluable to students and specialists alike. -- Antoni Biosca * Medieval Encounters *
