Saint Francis and the Sultan: The Curious History of a Christian-Muslim Encounter
Tolan, John V. (, Professor of History, University of Nantes)
In September, 1219, Francis of Assisi went to Egpyt to preach to Sultan al-Malik al-Kâmil. John Tolan examines the varying depictions of this brief but highly significant meeting and how they reveal the changing fears and hopes that Muslim-Christian encounters have inspired in European artists and writers in the centuries since.
