Introduction: Be(yond)fore Orientalism: Medieval Muslims and the Other: Re-Drawing the Essentialist Boundaries -- Translation, Travel, and the Other: the Fascination with Greek and Oriental Cultures -- European Barbarity and Civilization in some Medieval Arabic Geographical Sources: Al-Mas?udi and al-Bakri as Two Case Studies -- Writing the North: Europe and Europeans in Medieval Arabic Travel Literature -- Poetry, Frontiers, and Alterity: Views and Perceptions of al-Rum (Byzantines) and al-Ifranja (Crusaders) --.

Contrary to the monolithic impression left by postcolonial theories of Orientalism, the book makes the case that Orientals did not exist solely to be gazed at. Exploring a cross-section of 9th to the 12th century, non-religious Arabic prose and poetic texts such as the geo-cosmographical literature, �rcits de voyages, diplomatic memoirs, captivity narratives, pre-Crusade and Crusade poetry, Nizar F. Hermes shows that there was no shortage of medieval Muslims who cast curious eyes and minds towards the European Other and that more than a handful of them were textually and physically interested in Europe.
