31: From Damascus to Byzantium: Tracing Christian-Muslim Relations across the Middle Ages with Dr. Manolis Ulbricht
Episode 31
Saturday, 28 February, 2026
This month, we speak with Dr. Manolis Ulbricht, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Ulbricht has been tracing the transmission of Greek translations of the Qur'an and their use in Byzantine anti-Islamic polemic. We discuss his unexpected career turn from a Volkswagen internship in China to medieval history, his experience studying Arabic in Syria, and how several medieval anti-Islamic stereotypes persist to this day.To reach out to Dr. Ulbricht: manolis.ulbricht@nd.edu
