🎉 Congratulations to Mònica Colominas Aparicio, who has received an Honourable Mention for the 2025 Mediterranean Seminar Prize for the Best Source Edition, Book Translation, or Essay Collection!
https://www.mediterraneanseminar.org/book-prize-2025?p

Her book “The Book of Disputation: A Mudejar Religious-Philosophical Treatise against Christians and Jews” is the first critical edition and in-depth study of a remarkable Arabic polemic written by a Mudejar, a Muslim living under Christian rule in late medieval Iberia. Drawing on both natural philosophy (notably Aristotle and Averroes) and revealed sources such as the Qurʾān and the Bible, the work provides a rare window into the intellectual and religious life of a marginalized community.
Featuring a critical apparatus, extensive notes, and a detailed bibliography, it situates the text within a wider Mediterranean context of interreligious and philosophical exchange.

A significant and richly deserving contribution to the field!
The book is available in open access: https://brill.com/display/title/70056
