Description and Table of Contents
Description
A Companion to Islamic Granada gathers, for the first time in English, a number of essays exploring aspects of the Islamic history of this city from the 8th through the 15th centuries from an interdisciplinary perspective. This collective volume examines the political development of Medieval Gharnata under the rule of different dynasties, drawing on both historiographical and archaeological sources. It also analyses the complexity of its religious and multicultural society, as well as its economic, scientific, and intellectual life. The volume also transcends the year 1492, analysing the development of both the mudejar and the morisco populations and their contribution to Grenadian culture and architecture up to the 17th century.
Contributors are: Barbara Boloix-Gallardo, Maria Jesus Viguera-Molins, Alberto Garcia-Porras, Antonio Malpica-Cuello, Bilal Sarr-Marroco, Allen Fromherz, Bernard Vincent, Maribel Fierro-Bello, M Luisa Avila-Navarro, Juan Pedro Monferrer-Sala, Jose Martinez-Delgado, Luis Bernabe-Pons, Adela Fabregas-Garcia, Josef Zenka, Amalia Zomeno-Rodriguez, Delfina Serrano-Ruano, Julio Samso-Moya, Celia del Moral-Molina, Jose Miguel Puerta-Vilchez, Antonio Orihuela-Uzal, Ieva Reklaityte, and Rafael Lopez-Guzman.
