The author explores the unique intermingling of three immensely powerful cultures in medieval Spain: Christian, Jews, and Muslim. He provides a lucid study of this interaction, from the Islamic occupation of Spain, in the early 8th century, through the gradual rise of Christian Spain and the success of the 'Reconquista' in the 13th century, to the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, dual monarchs of the Inquisition period, and the final conquest of Muslim Granada in 1492. He clarifies the complex political history and stresses the role of economic, social and cultural influences. 216 pages with Bibliography, List of Illustrations and credits, and Index. 8.25 x 5.75 inches. 1972, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, USA
