The second volume of the series presents 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 in Carolingian, Ottonian and late medieval Western Europe, in Byzantium and Armenia, Georgia, Hungary, the Khazar Khanate, Poland and Rus’. 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.
