RST 338 - Randy Rabbis, Naughty Imams: Love and Faith in Andalusia

An examination of the secular love poetry penned by religious scholars of the 10th-13th centuries in medieval Spain. We will explore the ways in which these pious standard-bearers of religion used sacred images and accounts from the Bible/Qur’an and exegetical traditions in their secular love poems, to both male and female beloveds, and what messages were thus embedded.
