Abstract

BOOKSaracens, Demons, and Jews: Making Monsters in Medieval ArtDebra Higgs Strickland https://doi.org/10.37862/aaeportal.00183 Stable URL: https://aaeportal.com/?id=-19747Copy During the crusades, Ethiopians, Jews, Muslims, and Mongols were branded enemies of Christian majority. This book reveals the pejorative ways these rejected social groups were represented - often as monsters, demons, or freaks of nature. It traces the origins of negative pictorial code used to portray monsters, demons, and non-Christian peoples.AuthorDebra Higgs StricklandPublisherPrinceton University PressPrint publication date January 2003 (out of print)Print ISBN 9780691057194EISBN 9780300252927Copyright© 2003 Princeton University PressIllustrations 133Print Status out of print Publisher (out of print) WorldCat Google Books
