Exploring the dynamics of identity, this compilation features articles from scholars discussing 'self' and 'other' in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic cultures. It highlights how non-Western objects and knowledge shaped the identities of Iberian, southern French, and northern Italian nobility. The work reveals a paradox where Christians viewed Jews and Muslims as adversaries while simultaneously integrating their cultural contributions. Additionally, it examines how visual tensions in art and architecture served as symbols of power, illustrating the complex interplay between different cultures.
