loginThis volume is about exploring connections and interactions. Its focus is on historical encounters in the Mediterranean and, fittingly, it is the direct product of parallel present-day collaborations and exchange. The collectionof essays here attests to the growing cross-disciplinary interests of scholars today. These scholars, specialists in Late Antique, Byzantine, and Islamic art, are no longer content to remain within their disciplinary boundaries. Theynow attend each other’s conferences and often discover that their most interesting research over-laps. What has emerged, above all, is a milieu of collaborations and interactions. I am very grateful to the authors whose work, collected here, provides the mul-tiple vantage points necessary to observe and understand the dynamic interplay between boundaries and crossroads in the medieval Mediterranean, between the third and thirteenth centuries.
