In 1453 Constantinople, the capital of eastern Christendom, fell to the Turks. Shocked at the news, most western thinkers and leaders rattled their swords and called for a crusade. But the aged Spanish theologian Juan de Segovia (d. 1458) wrote several letters and treatises arguing that Christians should make peace with the Ottomans. He even enlisted a Muslim scholar to collaborate with him to produce a trilingual edition of the Quran (Arabic, Latin, Castilian) so Christians could understand Islam better. Juan's goal was to persuade them to work harder to convert Muslims, though only through peaceful means, and to cease waging wars on them. This study offers an account of these unconventional views on Christian-Muslim relations.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In 1453 Constantinople, the capital of eastern Christendom, fell to the Turks. Shocked at the news, most western thinkers and leaders rattled their swords and called for a crusade. But the aged Spanish theologian Juan de Segovia (d. 1458) wrote several letters and treatises arguing that Christians should make peace with the Ottomans. He even enlisted a Muslim scholar to collaborate with him to produce a trilingual edition of the Quran (Arabic, Latin, Castilian) so Christians could understand Islam better. Juan's goal was to persuade them to work harder to convert Muslims, though only through peaceful means, and to cease waging wars on them. This study offers an account of these unconventional views on Christian-Muslim relations.
520 $a It begins with an exploration of Segovia's probable social background, followed by a look at how likely it was that someone in Castile at that time would have known Muslims. Chapter Two is a study of his years as a student and then professor at the University of Salamanca (ca. 1407--1431), including a discussion of his early views on the exercise of papal authority. This issue would dominate his thought and activities throughout the Council of Basel (1431--1448), where he emerged as a leading conciliarist. Chapter Three concerns his early thought on Islam and relies heavily on an academic address (repetitio) he delivered in 1427, which has received little attention from scholars. His years at Basel (1433--1448) are the subject of Chapter Four. Chapter Five turns to his mature thought on Islam. It includes an account of what he reiterated from the standard western canon and how he departed from the received notions and from the dominant approaches of his contemporaries.
520 $a My main argument is that the unifying thread in all his thought was a desire for the church to be guided by the ethical norms found in the scriptures and by the example of Christ and the apostolic church. This was the central feature of both his conciliarist agenda and his proposals for a new approach to Christian-Muslim relations.
