"In Dante and the Orient, Schildgen argues that Dante's treatment of the East enabled him to use the rhetoric employed in crusade narratives and other travel literature to oppose the military and polemic goals of the Crusades and to plead for the reformation of both church and state."--BOOK JACKET.

Excerpt from The Temples of the Orient and Their Message, in the Light of Holy Scripture, Dante's Vision, and Bunyan's Allegory To the readers of Clear Bound! the following Notes are offered as a solution of the perplexing thoughts and questionings therein summed up in those five words: What does it all mean? It is felt that, in face of the facts now disclosed, it should be impossible to make the unblushing mis-statement still alas! to be found in certain 'missionary' magazines, viz.: that non-Christians 'pray to a God who never heard or answered a single prayer that was offered to Him.' Such sentiments (founded upon an ignorance which, in these days, is simply unpardonable) may indeed make Atheists - they do alienate earnest seekers from the Truth whether in this country, or in Japan where, as St. Francis Xavier found two hundred and fifty years ago, Men's minds are more delicate than anywhere else. Ere being so quick to instruct and preach to others, might it not be well for a God-fearing man to learn humbly what he can from those whose privileges are fewer and their light more dim? For in thus comparing 'the Things of Our Father' - the 'spiritual Things' of his own and other creeds - he would surely gain a more sympathetic knowledge of the Oriental mind, and a readier access to its heart, and so be better prepared to set forth the Truth in love?

Dante put Muhammad in one of the lowest circles of Hell. At the same time, the medieval Christian poet placed several Islamic philosophers much more honorably in Limbo. Furthermore, it has long been suggested that for much of the basic framework of the Divine Comedy Dante was indebted to apocryphal traditions about a “night journey” taken by Muhammad. Dante scholars have increasingly returned to the question of Islam to explore the often surprising encounters among religious traditions that the Middle Ages afforded. This collection of essays works through what was known of the Qur’an and of Islamic philosophy and science in Dante’s day and explores the bases for Dante’s images of Muhammad and Ali. It further compels us to look at key instances of engagement among Muslims, Jews, and Christians.

This study explores how Dante represents violence in the Comedy and reveals the connection between contemporary private and public violence and civic and canon law violations. Although a number of articles have addressed particular aspects of violence in discrete parts of Dante’s oeuvre, a systematic treatment of violence in the Commedia is lacking. This ambitious overview of violence in Dante’s literary works and his world examines cases of violence in the domestic, communal, and cosmic spheres while taking into account medieval legal approaches to rights and human freedom that resonate with the economy of justice developed in the Commedia. Exploring medieval concerns with violence both in the home and in just war theory, as well as the Christian theology of the Incarnation and Redemption, Brenda Deen Schildgen examines violence in connection to the natural rights theory expounded by canon lawyers beginning in the twelfth century. Partially due to the increased attention to its Greco-Roman cultural legacy, the twelfth-century Renaissance produced a number of startling intellectual developments, including the emergence of codified canon law and a renewed interest in civil law based on Justinian’s sixth-century Corpus juris civilis. Schildgen argues that, in addition to “divine justice,” Dante explores how the human system of justice, as exemplified in both canon and civil law and based on natural law and legal concepts of human freedom, was consistently violated in the society of his era. At the same time, the redemptive violence of the Crucifixion, understood by Dante as the free act of God in choosing the Incarnation and death on the cross, provides the model for self-sacrifice for the communal good. This study, primarily focused on Dante’s representation of his contemporary reality, demonstrates that the punishments and rewards in Dante’s heaven and hell, while ostensibly a staging of his vision of eternal justice, may in fact be a direct appeal to his readers to recognize the crimes that pervade their own world. Dante and Violence will have a wide readership, including students and scholars of Dante, medieval culture, violence, and peace studies.

From the PREFACE. To the readers of 'Clear Round!' the following Notes are offered as a solution of the perplexing thoughts and questionings therein summed up in those five words: What does it all mean? It is felt that, in face of the facts now disclosed, it should be impossible to make the unblushing mis-statement still alas! to be found in certain 'missionary' magazines, viz.: that non-Christians 'pray to a God who never heard or answered a single prayer that was offered to Him.' Such sentiments (founded upon an ignorance which, in these days, is simply unpardonable) may indeed make Atheists-they do alienate earnest seekers from the Truth whether in this country, or in Japan where, as St. Francis Xavier found two hundred and fifty years ago, 'Men's minds are more delicate than anywhere else.' Ere being so quick to instruct and preach to others, might it not be well for a God-fearing man to learn humbly what he can from those whose privileges are fewer and their light more dim? For in thus comparing ' the Things of Our Father'-the 'spiritual Things' of his own and other creeds-he would surely gain a more sympathetic knowledge of the Oriental mind, and a readier access to its heart, and so be better prepared to set forth the Truth in love? To the intending Missionary, therefore, these pages are affectionately inscribed with the reminder that when Our Lord interpreted to His Friends in all the Scriptures the Things concerning Himself, ' He probably took from the Teachings of Egypt under the shadow of whose pyramids, as 'the Young Child, ' He spent His most tender and impressionable years, as well as from the Hebrew Scriptures which, as 'the Boy Jesus, ' He learned from the Doctors in His Father's House through 'hearing them and asking them questions' when, 'according to the Custom, ' He' became 'a Son of the Law'; and also, from the wisdom of the sages of Persia and the initiates of India with whom (in accordance with a not disproved tradition) He passed the silent years of His early Manhood. Certain it is that the writings of His most beloved Apostle (to whose authorship the Church ascribes the Fourth Gospel) are steeped in allusions to and breathe the spirit of Divine Wisdom as set forth in the Temple-lore of Egypt, Sumer, and Israel. Believing that the non-use of capitals before the Divine pronouns, both in the Bible and in the inscriptions translated from the Monuments, tends largely to obscure the sense to the average mind, the writer has ventured to remedy this omission, and feels confident that a closer study of the Revised Version and of the marginal readings in the King's Printers' Variorum must result in making our revered English Bible a new library pulsating with living interest when read in the light of the Ancient Wisdom of the East..
