Islam and Asia. A History
In “Muslims of Medieval Latin Christendom, C.1050–1614”, acclaimed historian Brian A. Catlos delves into the complex and often overlooked history of Muslims living within the borders of medieval Latin Christendom. Spanning from the eleventh to the seventeenth century, this groundbreaking work sheds light on the experiences, struggles, and contributions of Muslims living in Europe during this tumultuous period.
