| Tóm tắt: | With their active apostolate of preaching and teaching, Dominican friars were
important promoters of Latin Christianity in the borderlands of medieval Spain
and North Africa. Historians have long assumed that their efforts to convert
or persecute non-Christian populations played a major role in worsening relations
between Christians, Muslims and Jews in the era of crusade and reconquista.
This study sheds new light on the topic by setting Dominican participation in
celebrated but short-lived projects such as Arabic language studia or anti-Jewish
theological disputations alongside day-to-day realities of mendicant life in the
medieval Crown of Aragon. Whether in old Catalan centers like Barcelona, newly
conquered Valencia or Islamic North Africa, the author shows that Dominican
friars were on the whole conservative educators and disciplinarians rather than
innovative missionaries – ever concerned to protect the spiritual well-being of
the faithful by means of preaching, censorship and maintenance of existing barriers
to interfaith communications. |
