This is overall one of the most productive and original volumes to appear in recent years on medieval interfaith relations... The contributors, and the editor too, are to be commended for chiseling away at these bonded layers of textual commentaries and revealing to us the meandering streams of interfaith exchanges flowing beneath. * The Medieval Review * An impressively coherent collection illuminating the rich cultural and historical importance of biblical exegesis in the medieval Mediterranean world. Medieval Exegesis and Religious Difference assembles a formidable cadre of creative scholars whose rigorous investigations render it a fascinating and important contribution. -- -Jeremy Cohen * Tel Aviv University * ...the volume itself is well produced and rewards patient reading. -- -Matthew Gabriele * Al-Masaq: Journal of the Medieval Mediterranean * The quality of the studies in Medieval Exegesis and Religious Difference is of a very high level and many [of the essays] break new ground based on the close study of manuscripts or the examination of familiar texts from new perspectives. -- -Barry Dov Walfish * University of Toronto Library *
