The Story Of The Moors In Spain is a historical book written by Stanley Lane-Poole that provides a detailed account of the Islamic civilization and culture that flourished in Spain during the 8th to the 15th century. The book covers the history of the Moors, who were the Muslim inhabitants of Spain, and their impact on the country's art, architecture, science, and literature.The author begins by tracing the origins of the Moors and their arrival in Spain in 711 AD. He then describes the rise of the Umayyad Caliphate, which established the Andalusian Emirate and made Cordoba its capital. The book delves into the political and social structure of the Moors, their religious beliefs, and their interactions with the Christian kingdoms of the north.The book also explores the golden age of the Moors, which saw the emergence of great scholars, philosophers, and scientists such as Ibn Rushd (Averroes), Ibn Arabi, and Al-Zahrawi. The author discusses the contributions of the Moors to fields such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and literature, which had a lasting impact on European culture.The Story Of The Moors In Spain is a well-researched and comprehensive account of a fascinating period in Spanish history. It provides a valuable insight into the Islamic civilization that once thrived in Spain and sheds light on the cultural and intellectual exchanges that took place between the Moors and the Christian kingdoms of Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
