ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In recent years, as the octocentenary of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) approa-
ched, the idea developed among several scholars that the council, the prelude to
it, and the aftermath and impact of its seventy-one canons warranted comme-
moration and study. I first learned about this idea at the International Congress
on Medieval Studies in May 2014, and decided at that time to organize sessions
to study the effect of the council specifically on Jews and Muslims. The last four
canons of the council directly addressed contact between Christians and those
two non-Christian groups, who often lived amongst Christians and/or interacted
with them to some degree.
Dr Irven Resnick of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga generously
agreed to help organize the sessions, and in the end also presented his own re-
search. From 23 to 28 November 2015, at several academic institutions in Rome,
international scholars presented over 140 papers on numerous topics connected
in some way to the Council; however, one full day, 25 November, held at the Villa
Aurelia (through the generosity of the American Academy in Rome), was devoted
to four sessions on Muslims and Jews under Christian rule, and the consequences
of the canons on those two groups. The variety of papers presented in those ses-
sions added greatly to the breadth and depth of topics and questions explored
at the conference. At the conclusion of the day, the idea was presented to us to
publish a volume of the papers, and thus, led to this volume. Other volumes
continue to emerge from the conference: Literary Echoes of the Fourth Lateran
Council in England and France, 1215-1405, ed. by Maureen Boulton (Toronto:
Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, forthcoming); The Fourth Lateran
Council and the Development of Canon Law and the ‘ius commune’, ed. by A.
A. Larson & A. Massironi (Turnhout: Brepols, forthcoming); and The Fourth
Lateran Council and the Crusade Movement: The Impact of the Council of 1215
on Latin Christendom and the East, ed. by Jessalynn Bird and Damian Smith
(Turnhout: Brepols, 2018).
Many, many thanks to my co-editor, Irven Resnick, who recruited many of
the outstanding scholars in our four sessions. Most of their papers are within
this volume, along with others who responded enthusiastically to our call for
additional essays for the publication. Irven initiated and negotiated the proposal
to Brepols, and provided me with invaluable advice during the editing process.
It has been an honor to work with these eleven scholars before, during, and after
the conference in the formation of this volume. In addition, it was a tremendous
privilege to have joined the organizers in the production of the conference; I have
