This bibliographic dictionary features an overview of medieval texts from the Eastern Orthodox world that discuss Muhammad, the Arabs, and the birth of Islam. These texts shed new light on interreligious polemics in the Middle Ages, previous studies of which have typically focused on texts written in Greek, Latin, or Middle Eastern languages.
