Mozarab authors supplied the rhetorical scripts Latin polemicists later deployed against Islam

Evidence

Yet at the same time they develop these arguments in new ways, showing a familiarity with contemporary Arabic science and with Latin theologians such as Hugh of Saint Victor and Abelard. These authors define and explain Islam to Christendom; their strategies would subsequently be adapted by their readers, Latin polemicists against Islam in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 803

Categorization

• XREF: Directly grounds the reader’s vault claim (Anidjar/Aziz) that modern Islamophobic tropes descend through a translatio of earlier Christian polemic; this is the genealogical chain from Eastern Risalat through Mozarabs to later Latin anti-Islamic writing.
• ADDENDUM: Supports the claim that medieval Christian polemic constructed Islam as a coherent hostile object over centuries — the lineage Anidjar-type arguments trace.
