| Book Description | Roger Collins, a leading historian, investigates a time in Spanish history known for its multi-religious society - when Christians, Jews and Muslims lived in apparent harmony - revealing a fuller, more complex picture of this fascinating period. * Presents new ideas and interpretations of a fascinating yet much misunderstood period of Spanish and Islamic history * A broad and complex treatment of the tenure of the Umayyad dynasty in Spain * Debunks myths and investigates the historiography of existing scholarship of the period |
| Editorial Review | A blessing for faculty, but also a very useful introduction for students. (H-Soz-u-Kult, March 2014) Caliphs and Kings: Spain, 796 1031is a book for readers who seek interesting stories culled from Christian historical sources from the period from 796 1031, rather than for those who seek a book on the caliphal aspects of the same period. (Project Muse, 1 June 2014) Supported by useful royal genealogies and a vast bibliography. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries. (Choice, 1 November 2012) |
