Reports and comments about relations between people from Christian and Muslim backgrounds appear daily in the news, whether it is politicians using the term crusade for Western incursions into Muslim countries, Pakistani courts trying Christians thought to have blasphemed Islam, or French police detaining Muslim women for defying dress laws. The inaccurate words and actions employed by people from one faith origin when thinking of the other frequently reflect attitudes about the other faith and its followers that are inherited from many centuries past. This project, Christian-Muslim Relations 1500-1900, is about these attitudes and the ways in which they were formed and have developed.The history of relations between Islam and Christianity stretches over 1400 years. Followers of the faiths have lived closely together from the beginning, and have sometimes benefited one another, as in 9th century Baghdad where important works of science and philosophy were translated from Greek into Arabic by Christians for Muslims, though they have more often defamed and attacked one another, as most dramatically in the Crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries, which were seen as representing a Christian attack on Islam. This project seeks to uncover the stages of this history from 1500 to 1900, both to discover what was actually thought and written, and to explore what was taken as the norm about the character and status of the other. It is a continuation of an earlier AHRC-funded project that traced the history from 600 to 1500. It will build on this and take it forward to 1900, and it will explore the records of encounters between Christians and Muslims in all parts of the world. It has two objectives.The first is to compile a detailed history of all the known writings by Christians and Muslims about and against one another in the period 1500-1900. For this bibliographical history, four teams of specialists, each focusing on a major sector of the world, will bring together accounts of the works written in their sector, commissioning specialists on particular authors, regions and periods to write detailed analytical entries on the works. An entry will include information about the author, the contents of the work, its significance, the main themes within it, and full details about publication and studies written on it. Each entry will in this way contain a comprehensive account of a work, and the compilation into a connected history will place each one in the wider sweep of Christian-Muslim relations. The result, the collaboration of hundreds of scholars, will be a multi-volume history in unprecedented detail of the development of Christian-Muslim relations between 1500 and 1900. It will give readers access to a wide range of information that in the past has been restricted to specialists possessing particular language skills.The second objective is to use this bibliographical history to trace the main images and attitudes that have gradually become established as the accepted portrayal of the other, lodging in believers' minds and bedevilling efforts to move away from old ways of relating. Either themselves or in collaboration with others, the four project teams will produce thematic studies of attitudes held by Christians and Muslims about one another as they were transmitted through the centuries. In order to do this, they will use the analyses from the bibliographical history of the 1500-1900 years period, and also the history of the 600-1500 year period that has been produced in exactly the same way by the earlier project. The result will be a single or multi-volume history of images and opinions of the other held by Christians and Muslims from the 7th to the 20th century.The two histories will shed new light on a frequently troubled record. They will open up a new field of enquiry, and will also contribute towards explaining why Christians and Muslims often continue to misunderstand one another today.

关于基督徒和穆斯林背景的人之间关系的报道和评论每天都会出现在新闻中，无论是政客使用“十字军东征”这个词来形容西方入侵穆斯林国家，巴基斯坦法院审判被认为亵渎伊斯兰教的基督徒，还是法国警察因宗教原因而拘留穆斯林妇女。违反着装法规。来自一种信仰的人们在想到另一种信仰时所使用的不准确的言语和行为常常反映了对另一种信仰及其追随者的态度，这些态度是从过去的许多世纪中继承下来的。这个名为《1500-1900 年基督教与穆斯林关系》的项目是关于这些态度以及它们形成和发展的方式的。伊斯兰教和基督教之间的关系历史已有 1400 多年。不同信仰的追随者从一开始就紧密地生活在一起，有时还互相受益，就像在九世纪的巴格达，基督徒将重要的科学和哲学著作从希腊语翻译成阿拉伯语，供穆斯林使用，尽管他们更经常地诽谤和攻击其中最引人注目的是 12 世纪和 13 世纪的十字军东征，这被视为代表基督教对伊斯兰教的攻击。该项目旨在揭示从 1500 年到 1900 年这段历史的各个阶段，既要发现实际的思想和文字，又要探索什么被视为他人性格和地位的规范。它是 AHRC 资助的早期项目的延续，该项目追溯了 600 年至 1500 年的历史。它将在此基础上向前推进至 1900 年，并将探索世界各地基督徒和穆斯林相遇的记录。它有两个目标。第一个目标是编撰 1500 年至 1900 年间基督徒和穆斯林关于彼此的所有已知著作的详细历史。对于这个书目历史，四个专家小组，每个小组都专注于世界的一个主要领域，将汇集各自领域中所写作品的记录，委托特定作者、地区和时期的专家撰写有关作品的详细分析条目。条目将包括有关作者的信息、作品的内容、其意义、其中的主题以及有关出版物和研究的完整详细信息。通过这种方式，每一个条目都将包含对一部作品的全面描述，而汇编成一部相互关联的历史将把每一个条目置于更广泛的基督教与穆斯林关系中。数百名学者的合作成果将是一本多卷本的历史书，其中前所未有地详细记录了 1500 年至 1900 年间基督教与穆斯林关系的发展。它将让读者获得过去无法获得的广泛信息。仅限于拥有特定语言技能的专家。第二个目标是利用这一书目历史来追踪主要形象和态度，这些形象和态度已逐渐成为公认的他人形象，扎根于信徒的头脑中，摆脱旧的联系方式的努力令人困扰。四个项目团队将自行或与其他人合作，对基督徒和穆斯林在几个世纪以来相互持有的态度进行专题研究。为了做到这一点，他们将使用 1500-1900 年时期的书目历史分析，以及 600-1500 年时期的历史分析，这与早期项目完全相同。其结果将是一本或多卷本的历史，记录了从 7 世纪到 20 世纪基督徒和穆斯林所持有的对方形象和观点。这两本历史将为经常陷入困境的记录提供新的线索。他们将开辟一个新的研究领域，也将有助于解释为什么基督徒和穆斯林今天仍然经常相互误解。
