The setting of this volume is the Iberian Peninsula during the
Middle Ages, where Christianity and Islam co-existed side by side
as the official religions of Muslim al-Andalus on the one hand, and
the Christian kingdoms in the north of the peninsula on the other.
Its purpose is to examine the meaning of the word 'Mozarab' and the
history and nature of the people called by that name; it represents
a synthesis of the author's many years of research and publication
in this field. Richard Hitchcock first sets out to explain what
being a non-Muslim meant in al-Andalus, both in the higher echelons
of society and at a humbler level. The terms used by Arab
chroniclers, when examined carefully, suggest a lesser
preoccupation with purely religious values than hitherto
appreciated. Mozarabism in LeA(3)n and Toledo, two notably distinct
phenomena, are then considered at length, and there are two
chapters exploring the issues that arose, firstly when Mozarabs
were relocated in twelfth-century AragA(3)n, and secondly, in
sixteenth-century Toledo, when they were striving to retain their
identity.
