A Concise History of the Moors in Spain: From Their Invasion of That Kingdom to the Final Expulsion from It is a historical account written by Thomas Bourke in 1811. The book covers the period from the initial invasion of the Moors in 711 CE to their final expulsion in 1492. The Moors were Muslim inhabitants of North Africa who conquered the Iberian Peninsula and established a Muslim presence in Spain for over 700 years. Bourke's account provides a detailed overview of the political, social, and cultural impact of the Moors on Spain. He examines the various dynasties that ruled during the Moorish period, including the Umayyads, the Almohads, and the Nasrids. He also explores the contributions of the Moors to Spanish culture, including their influence on art, architecture, and literature. Throughout the book, Bourke highlights the conflicts and tensions that existed between the Moors and the Christian kingdoms of Spain. He describes the battles and wars that were fought between the two sides and the eventual reconquest of Spain by the Christians. The book concludes with the final expulsion of the Moors from Spain in 1492, which marked the end of their presence in the country. Overall, A Concise History of the Moors in Spain provides an insightful and informative overview of one of the most significant periods in Spanish history. Bourke's account is well-researched and provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the Moors on Spain and the lasting legacy of their presence in the country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
