Stanley Lane-Poole (1854-1931), archaeologist and historian, was
for many years keeper of the coin collection at the British Museum,
compiling a fourteen-volume catalogue of Oriental and Indian coins.
In 1883 he conducted an archaeological expedition to Egypt. A
prolific writer, he produced historical works on Turkey, the
Barbary corsairs, medieval Egypt and India. His biographies include
'Saladin'. 'The Moors in Spain', here reproduced in facsimile from
the original edition (1887), provided one of the first complete and
historically accurate accounts of this period in Spanish history.
It was in AD711 that Tarik the Moor landed in Gibraltar (the name
of which derives from 'jabal', 'mount' in Arabic, and 'Tarik') at
the start of eight centuries of Moorish domination. 'Spain set to
all Europe a shining example of a civilised and enlightened
State...Art, literature and science prospered. Mathematics,
astronomy and botany, history, philosophy and jurisprudence were to
be mastered in Spain, and Spain alone.
