Among a unique collection of stories in Hebrew manuscript copied in the sixteenth century and found at the National Library of Israel (NLI) are twenty-seven hagiographic tales about the prominent Jewish pietist of Medieval Germany, Rabbi Judah the Pious (d. 1217) and his father Rabbi Shmuel ben Kalonymus. Scholars have suggested that the entire original collection dates back to ca. 1300 and echoes the lives, concerns, and ideals of thirteenth-century Ashkenazi Jews. However, some of the hagiographic tales found in the collection seem to have been written later, appropriating the figure of the mystical Rabbi Judah and using it in stories from the fifteenth century that were set in his city, Regensburg. Told by the Jews of this city, the tales of Rabbi Judah and his magical abilities seem to have fulfilled the needs and concerns of the community in the turbulent late fifteenth century. The paper analyzes three of these stories, demonstrating how they correspond with the realities of this time and suggesting the possible roles the tales of Rabbi Judah and his miracles played for Regensburg Jewry as they contended with the hardships of daily life and the shadow of expulsion that loomed large over the community in this period.
在以色列国家图书馆（NLI）发现的一组16世纪复制的希伯来语手稿中，有二十七个关于中世纪德国著名犹太虔诚主义者拉比犹大（公元1217年）和他的父亲拉比Shmuel ben Kalonymus的圣徒故事。学者们认为，整个原始收藏可以追溯到1300年左右，与13世纪阿什肯纳兹犹太人的生活、关注和理想相呼应。然而，收藏中发现的一些圣徒故事似乎是后来写的，借用了神秘的拉比犹大的形象，并在15世纪的故事中使用了它，故事发生在他的城市雷根斯堡。这座城市的犹太人讲述了拉比犹大及其神奇能力的故事，这些故事似乎满足了动荡的十五世纪末社区的需求和担忧。本文分析了其中三个故事，展示了它们如何与这个时代的现实相一致，并提出了拉比犹大和他的奇迹在雷根斯堡犹太人与这一时期笼罩在社区上空的日常生活困难和驱逐阴影作斗争时可能扮演的角色。

What is a creature within a creature, with no consanguinity or kinship between them? Upon what place did the sunshine once, but then never again? These and host of other Judeo-ʿAlīd brain-teasers are adduced by the seventeenth-century Shiʿite encyclopedist Muḥammad Bāqir al-Majlisī in order to shore up the most pristine and essential of Shiʿite claims: that ʿAlī should have been the successor to the Prophet Muḥammad. The material examined in this essay sheds light both upon aspects of the Sunni-Shiʿī polemic and on Shiʿism’s outlook on the previous monotheistic dispensations. This article analyzes the series of interlocutions adduced by Majlisī (and his sources) as part of the campaign to retroactively unseat the caliphs enshrined by Sunnism. As with Islamic tradition in general, Shiʿism displays in this material a penchant for drafting the exponents of surrounding creeds to shore up its political and religious claims.

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。

A feast commemorating the conquest of Jerusalem was celebrated in Milan, on 15 July 1100. On that day, an existing Milanese church was rededicated as the “Church of the Holy Sepulchre.” The elaborate ceremony included a procession, an octave, and a pilgrims’ indulgence, along with crusade propaganda. It was perhaps the earliest one celebrated in Western Europe in the wake of the Jerusalem conquest of 15 July 1099, added to the liturgical calendar of Milan. The event was carefully orchestrated by Anselm of Buis, the archbishop of Milan – a supporter of the church reform movement and close ally of Pope Urban II. The feast was attended by the local community, among them First Crusaders returning from Jerusalem. This article focuses on the innovative nature of the Milanese feast, its liturgy and possible link with the celebration in Jerusalem a year earlier. It also considers the triumphal recreation of Jerusalem in Lombardy within the western tradition of imitations of Jerusalem.
