Medieval Andalusian Courtly Culture discusses the unicum manuscript
of the Hadith Bayad wa Riyad, the only illustrated manuscript known
to have survived for more than eight centuries of Muslim and
Arabic-speaking presence in present-day Spain. The manuscript is of
paramount importance as it contains the only known surviving
version, both in terms of text and of image, of the love story of
Bayad wa Riyad. This study will place this manuscript within the
context of late medieval Mediterranean courtly culture, offering:
an annotated translation into English of the entire text
reproductions of its images an analysis of both text and images in
a series of progressively broader contexts including that of
al-Andalus(Arabic-speaking); of "reconquista" Iberia; and the
larger Mediterranean world. Cynthia Robinson broadens understanding
of the Mediterranean region during the Middle Ages, making this
text an invaluable resource for scholars with interests in Medieval
Spain, art and Mediterranean courtly culture.
