History as Prelude
Edited by Joseph Montville
History as Prelude is a unique collection of essays by seven highly respected scholars that offers a straightforward narrative of the intellectual, commercial, spiritual, philosophical, scientific, and aesthetic real-world creative engagement among Jews, Muslims, and some Christians in daily life in Spain and around the Mediterranean. History as Prelude is a major contribution to the Israeli-Arab peace process because it undermines -in fact, "blows away"- the efforts of propagandists who serve governments or political movements to negate the reality of the Arab-Jewish relationship in the medieval Mediterranean. The contributors, in unassuming, well-researched scholarship, have erected a wall protecting historical reality from distortion, providing irrefutable-and often delightful- examples of creative coexistence.
