 Dr. Alex Novikoff will be delivering an invited lecture at Cambridge University this week at a symposium devoted to “Ancient and Medieval Jewish-Christian Disputations: Fiction and Reality.” The event is sponsored by the Woolf Institute for Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations, the University of Paris I (Sorbonne), and Lucy Cavendish College (Cambridge). The title of his presentation, “The Role of Petrus Alfonsi in the Medieval Culture of Disputation,” is related to his recently published book, The Medieval Culture of Disputation: Pedagogy, Practice, and Performance (Philadelphia: The University of Pennsylvania Press, 2013).
