This fascinating history book details the Moorish arrival, conquest
and rule over Spain and the Iberian peninsula in Europe. We hear of
how the Moors arrived and conquered the Iberian peninsula,
remaining for some 800 years. Tariq ibn-Ziyad, arriving in 711 AD,
began an upheaval never before seen in the European continent. The
Moorish brought industriousness and commerce, a sophisticated code
of laws, beautiful architecture, and outstanding scholarly
achievements in astronomy and mathematics - together, these would
forever shape the culture of Spain and Portugal. Stanley Lane-Poole
was a historian and archaeologist who worked in partnership with
the British Museum for eighteen years. Specializing in Middle
Eastern and North African culture and architecture, it was through
years of painstaking study and compilation of existing documents
that the author was able to compose this, and other histories.
