Muslims, Christians, and Jews throughout the Mediterranean but especially in medieval Iberia engaged in polemic and disputation. The Arabic text, The Book of Disputation, edited and studied here is doubly important: it is written by a Mudejar (subject Muslim living under Christian rule in Iberia) and it thoroughly engages with natural philosophy, demonstrating the continued vitality of Muslim intellectual life in late medieval Iberia.

Mònica Colominas Aparicio, Ph.D. (2016) University of Groningen, is the author of The Religious Polemics of the Muslims of Late Medieval Iberia: Identity and Religious Authority in Mudejar Islam (Brill, 2018) and numerous other studies of religious minorities in pre-modern Iberia.
