Dante And Islam (Dante'S World: Historicizing Literary Cultures Of The Due And Trecento)

Dante's fit within orientalism remains debated. Sifting the issues requires investigating the Qur'an and Islamic learning, Dante's images of Muhammad, and engagement among Muslims, Jews, and Christians in Italy. 9780823263875 0823263878 372 BOOK Literary Criticism NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=pKEwyQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
