Al-Andalus

This book offers a comprehensive, evidence-based narrative of medieval Iberia, highlighting the remarkable coexistence and complex relations among Muslims, Christians, and Jews over nearly eight centuries.

Spanning the rise of the Caliphate of Córdoba to the fall of Granada, the narrative draws on treaties, tax records, and law codes to present a nuanced account of this unique period. The story underscores the rich, intertwined history that shaped the cultural and scientific foundations of Europe.
