Abstract
Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464) had a long-time interest in the possibility of dialog with muslims. When the Ottomans captured Constantinople in 1453, he authored a vision of religious peace in De pace fidei. By the time Pope Pius II called for a crusade against the Turks, Nicholas provided him with a critique of the Qurʾān. The changed viewpoint combined polemic with an effort to find Christian truths in the Islamic sacred text. This article traces the changes in Cusanus’s thought on Islam and the crusade through an examination of his sermons and other texts not ordinarily read in this context. These texts reveal a gradual move away from dialog and toward support of the crusade.
库萨的尼古拉斯(1401-1464)长期以来一直对与穆斯林对话的可能性感兴趣。1453年奥斯曼人占领君士坦丁堡时，他在《信仰的步伐》(De pace fidei)一书中提出了宗教和平的愿景。当教皇庇护二世号召讨伐土耳其人时，尼古拉斯给他提供了一份对《古兰经》ān的批判。改变了的观点结合了争论和在伊斯兰神圣文本中寻找基督教真理的努力。本文通过考察库萨努斯的布道和其他在这种背景下通常不会读到的文本，追溯了库萨努斯对伊斯兰教和十字军东征思想的变化。这些文本揭示了从对话到支持十字军的逐渐转变。
期刊介绍：
Medieval Encounters promotes discussion and dialogue accross cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries on the interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures during the period from the fourth through to the sixteenth century C.E. Culture is defined in its widest form to include art, all manner of history, languages, literature, medicine, music, philosophy, religion and science. The geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in which the traditions interacted. Confluence, too, will be construed in its widest form to permit exploration of more indirect interactions and influences and to permit examination of important subjects on a comparative basis.
