We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue on the subject of “Jewish–Christian Relations in Medieval Art and Literature.” This Special Issue aims to explore the complex relationship between Jews and Christians during the medieval period and its representation in art and literature. We invite contributions that examine the ways in which Jewish and Christian cultures intersected, overlapped, or collided in medieval art and literature, and how these interactions shaped the cultural, social, and political landscapes of the time.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
– Representations of Jews and Christians in medieval
art and literature
– Jewish and Christian visual and literary culture
– Interfaith relations and cultural exchange
– Polemical texts and anti-Jewish sentiments in
medieval literature
– Christian Hebraism and Jewish responses
– Theological and philosophical debates between
Jews and Christians
– Manuscripts, codices and illuminated texts
– Material culture and religious objects
