Jeudis de l’IMA – Histoire des relations entre Juifs et Musulmans des origines à nos jours
Depuis les premiers liens entre les tribus juives d’Arabie et le Prophète Muhammad jusqu’aux récents conflits du Proche-Orient, en passant par les civilisations de Bagdad et de Cordoue — sans oublier l’Empire ottoman, le monde perse et même l’espace européen –, les relations tour à tour fécondes ou tumultueuses entre juifs et musulmans sont ici exposées et analysées en toute impartialité par les coordinateurs de cette encyclopédie – Histoire des relations entre Juifs et Musulmans, des origines jusqu’à nos jours (Albin Michel) – qui réunit quelque cent vingt auteurs de tous pays
