The Muslim World in the Age of the Crusades features monographs, edited volumes, text editions, translations and reference works studying the impact of the Crusades on the diverse, local communities (Muslim or non-Muslim) of the Mediterranean.The central focus of the series is on the impact and responses to the Crusades and the Frankish presence. The series is interested in the variety of interactions between and among local populations and the Franks, as well as the legacy of the Crusades after that time. The series includes, but is not limited to, topics such as:

• Intellectual and cultural transformations within the world of Islam generated as a response to the Crusades. • Community dynamics between and within different religious groups: e.g., Sunni-Shiʿi interaction, relations among different eastern Christian communities, policies of the Latin Church towards local Christian groups, Jewish life under Frankish rule, etc. • Exchanges between locals and Franks, and between the Muslim World and Latin Europe: e.g., diplomacy, commerce, scholarship, etc. • Cultural and other everyday relations between the Franks and indigenous populations: art, cuisine, architecture, technology, etc.

The series welcomes studies and text editions that address these and related issues and span the periods of the Fatimids, Seljuks, Zangids, Ayyubids, and Mamluks in the eastern Mediterranean, the Normans and Hohenstaufens in Sicily and southern Italy, as well as Almoravids and Almohads in North Africa and Iberia during the period of the Reconquista. .

The series published an average of 0,5 volumes per year since 2013.
