Note(s) : This book analyses the events of a decade-long encounter between an Italian Dominican,
Riccoldo da Montecroce (c. 1243-1320), and the Muslims of Baghdad, as recounted by
the friar himself. While many of Riccoldo's views of the Muslims are consonant with
those of his medieval confrères, George-Tvrtkovic examines the much more ambivalent
sections of his writings, such as his praise-filled descriptions of Muslim praxis,
his obvious love of Qur'anic Arabic, his frequent references to personal encounters
with Muslims, and his candid descriptions of the wonder and doubt which these confrontations
often elicited. George-Tvrtkovic argues that the tensions and inconsistencies inherent
in Riccoldo's account of Islam should not be viewed as defects. Rather, she contends,
their presence illustrates the complex nature of interreligious encounter itself
