Propaganda and (un)covered identities in treatises and sermons: Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the premodern Mediterranean
The eleven essays included in this collective volume examine a range of textual genres produced by Christians and Muslims throughout the Mediterranean, including materials from the Corpus Islamolatinum, Christian propaganda and polemical works targeting Muslims and Jews, Inquisition records, and Christian and Muslim sermons.

Shaping Identities in a Holy Land
In the 88 years between its establishment by the victorious armies of the First Crusade and its collapse following the disastrous defeat at Hattin, the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was the site of vibrant artistic and architectural activity. As the crusaders rebuilt some of Christendom's most sacred churches, or embellished others with murals and mosaics, a unique and highly original art was created.

Oeuvrer pour le salut
Le problème du salut personnel et collectif, crucial pour tous les chrétiens, entraîne l'émergence d'individus et de groupes sociaux réputés particulièrement aptes à faire leur propre salut et à oeuvrer pour celui des autres.

Trois modalités d'accès au salut sont mises en évidence : la conversion, c'est-à-dire le choix d'entrer en religion et la continuelle transformation individuelle qu'il suppose ; la médiation, fondée sur la prière et sur la liturgie ; le soin des âmes enfin, lié à l'engagement pastoral.
