Aprašymas

This volume explores how ideas of the sacred shaped everyday life, belief, and power in the medieval Middle East, and demostrates how sacrality was experienced and contested in texts, cities, rituals, and the experiences of ordinary people of all faiths. Drawing on a number of case studies, it reveals how holiness was continually negotiated, a process performed via political authority, scholarly debate, and popular practice. The sacred emerges as a dynamic force that shaped social relations and historical change, and is illuminated as a way in which communities understood the world and their place within it.
