This volume of essays intends to present diverse aspects of monotheistic kingship during the Middle Ages in two general-theoretical articles and a series of "case studies" on the relationship of religion and rulership. The authors discuss examples of the role of religion--based on both textual and iconic evidence--in Carolingian, Ottonian and late medieval western Europe; in Byzantium and Armenia; Georgia; Hungary; the Khazar Khanatel; Poland, and Russia. Two studies explore the issue in medieval Jewish and Islamic political thought. The editors hope that these special inquiries will engender more comparative studies on the subject.Monotheistic Kingship: The Medieval Variants (CEU Medievalia), with ISBN 9789637326059 and ISBN 9637326057.
