<P>This book examines the practice of toleration and the experience of religious diversity in the early modern world.</P><P>Recent scholarship has shown the myriad ways in which religious differences were accommodated in the early modern era (1500¿1800). This book propels this revisionist wave further by linking the accommodation of religious diversity in early modern communities to the experience of this diversity by individuals. It does so by studying the forms and patterns of interaction between members of different religious groups, including Christian denominations, Muslims, and Jews, in territories ranging from Europe to the Americas and South-East Asia. This book<I></I>is structured around five key concepts: the senses, identities, boundaries, interaction, and space. For each concept, the book provides chapters based on new, original research plus an introduction that situates the chapters in their historiographic context. </P><P><EM>Early Modern Toleration: New Approaches</EM>
