The Mediterranean - A Medieval Melting Pot

Author Robert L Stone will explore stories that illustrate the rich & colourful interactions between Muslims, Jews & Christian from Andalusia to Jerusalem. In the Middle Ages, 'inter-faith relations' around the Mediterranean were a complex (and fascinating) mixture of civilized co-existence and bitter, bloody conflict. In this session we will explore stories that illustrate the rich and colourful interactions between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, from Muslim Andalusia to Baghdad and Jerusalem. On the eve of National Poetry Day, we will be paying particular attention to the wonderful poetry of the period, especially its love poetry. Book via Eventbrite: https://tinyurl.com/4j96apze
