SUMMARY:Transcending Boundaries: Jews & Muslims in the Medieval World
DESCRIPTION:\nJewish and Muslim intellectual cultures are deeply enmeshed: 
 they developed in conversation with one another\, and the echoes of that d
 ialogue can be detected in Islamic and Jewish thought to this day.\nThis e
 vent will provide a closer look at some examples of Jewish-Muslim intellec
 tual exchange in the medieval period.\nDR RAPHAEL DASCALU (Adjunct Researc
 h Fellow\, ACJC)\n‘Ala al-Din al-Muwaqqit\, a 14th century Muslim schola
 r suspected of heresy\, and a significant figure in the elite intellectual
  circles of Ḥalab (Aleppo)\, Syria\, whose sole surviving work is a vast
  commentary on the dominant Jewish legal code of his time\, Moses Maimonid
 es’ Mishneh Torah\nDR AYDOGAN KARS (Lecturer\, Monash Centre for Religio
 us Studies)\nAndalusian Muslim polymath Batalyawsi (d.1126) whose philosop
 hical work\, The Book of Gardens\, was translated many times from Arabic i
 nto Hebrew\, and was widely read and cited by Jewish intellectuals in a ri
 ch variety of Biblical commentaries and halachic works.\nWe will consider 
 how this history of intellectual collaboration might point us towards more
  robust and fruitful interreligious and intercultural dialogue in the pres
 ent.\nA/PROF (PRACTICE) REBECCA FORGASZ will moderate the event and offer 
 reflections on the contemporary relevance of this historical scholarship.
