Hailed as early Christian texts as important as the Dead Sea
Scrolls, yet condemned by the Vatican as Islamic heresies, the Lead
books of Granada, written on discs of lead and unearthed on a
Granadan hillside, weave a mysterious tale of duplicity and daring
set in the religious crucible of sixteenth-century Spain. This book
evaluates the cultural status and importance of these polyvalent,
ambiguous artefacts which embody many of the dualities and
paradoxes inherent in the racial and religious dilemmas of Early
Modern Spain. Using the words of key individuals, and set against
the background of conflict between Spanish Christians and Moriscos
in the late fifteen-hundreds, The Lead Books of Granada tells a
story of resilient resistance and creative ingenuity in the face of
impossibly powerful negative forces, a resistance embodied by a
small group of courageous, idealistic men who lived a double life
in Granada just before the expulsion of the Moriscos.
