Book Hero thinking about your next read

The Arabs conquered Spain in 711, and Christian Hispania became Muslim al-Andalus almost overnight. This is a exploration of the fate of the Christians of al-Andalus. Texts include two chronicles in Latin on the fate of Hispania, accounts of Christian martyrs in Cordoba, and more.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Our current image of the Christian population of al-Andalus after AD711 reflects the way history has been written. The Christians almost disappeared from the historical record as the historians of the conquering Muslims concentrated on the glories of the Ummayads.

Christians in Al-Andalus 711-1000 reconsiders, through their own words, the fate of the Christians of al-Andalus. The texts discuss two chronicles in Latin on the fate of Hispania, the problematic accounts of Christian martyrs in Cordoba, a Muslim historian's account of how his Christian ancestors survived the conquest, and other texts reflecting the acculturation of Christians into Islamic society.
