Abstract

In the middle of the nineteenth century a significant development of Judeo-Arabic studies had place, mostly thanks to the efforts of two reknown Jewish Arabists, Salomon Munk and Moritz Steinschneider. Similarly to other scholars of this period, they were both influenced by the prevailing theories on Jewish-Islamic interaction and, more specifically, by an idealized view of such interaction. My goal in this article is to describe and analize in this theoretical light the beginnings and foundational period of the study of Judeo-Arabic medieval literature.
