Menschen verschiedener Herkunft, Religion und Funktion traten an den islamischen und christlichen Höfen des Mittelmeerraums miteinander in Kontakt: Gesandte, Gelehrte, Künstler und Kaufleute begegneten Verwaltungsbeamten, Vertrauten des Herrschers, Dolmetschern, Religions- und Rechtsexperten. Die Beiträge nehmen die Akteure des Religions- und Kulturtransfers u.a. an den Höfen der Abbasiden, den Höfen von Byzanz, Aragon, Rhodos, Zypern, dem Papsthof und dem Hof Friedrichs II. in den Blick. Dabei geht es vor allem um die Rolle, die Religion bei diesen Kontakten spielte.
