Essay Instructions: You will write a 3-5 paged essay in which you will analyze one primary source located in Debating Truth (see Part II, there are 9 primary sources to pick from; you cannot pick document X). You will
need to discuss the historical background to your chosen primary source (your Debating Truth text will help you
with this). You will need to give a brief overview of the content and meaning of your chosen primary source,
and explain why you think it is important for understanding not only the history of the Disputation in Barcelona
in 1263 but how it also helps us better understand how the Christian majority in Europe interacted with Muslims
and Jews more broadly during the Middle Ages, and how the Church and the State interacted during the Middle
Ages. As part of your discussion, make sure you answer the following questions. Who was the author/s of the
primary source (if known)? When did the author/s live? Under what circumstances did the author/s write the
text? What do you think the author/s purpose was for writing? How are the contents discussed in your primary
source written about in your secondary sources (need at least 2 beyond your Debating Truth text)? Keep
focused, but be sure to support your observations with specific and cited examples.
