A descriptive catalogue of the manuscripts and artefacts that depicted the medieval love story of Tristan and Isolde.

Studying different hermeneutical approaches by Christian philosophers and theologians - such as appropriation, interpretation and criticism - to the Arabic and Hebrew intellectual traditions during the Middle Ages, the fourteen articles contained in this volume show how these processes both challenged and shaped the Western philosophical discourse.

This volume reflect the growing importance of music criticism and the press in the long 19^th century.
