  • The legal status of dhimmis in the Muslim West in the Middle Ages

    Organized by Maribel Fierro (CCHS – CSIC, Madrid) and John Tolan (Université de Nantes)
    Sponsored by European Research Council, Advanced Research Grants “The legal status of religious minorities in the Euro-Mediterranean world (5th-15th centuries) (RELMIN)”, directed by John Tolan, and “Knowledge, heresy and political culture in the Islamic West. Eighth-fifteenth centuries (KOHEPOCU)”, directed by Maribel Fierro, Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN), Institute of Languages and Cultures of the Mediterranean (ILC) – Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales (CCHS-CSIC) and Casa de Velázquez.
     
    This seminar is devoted to the Islamic legal doctrine on the “protected groups” (dhimmis), that is, to the monotheistic religious communities (Jews and Christians) who lived under Muslim rule and to whom a special legal status was granted. That legal status implied a position of inferiority or discrimination in relationship to the Muslims, but it did not involve – at least in theory – persecution. There is no monograph on such status for the Medieval Islamic West. This seminar aims at bringing together renowned specialists on the subject and related issues whose papers will contribute to the publication of such monograph.
