Jose Antonio Conde's classic 3 volume work is a pioneering history
of the Arabs in Spain (700-1500). It was under Arab rule that the
Iberian peninsular experienced a golden era that saw a blossoming
of artistic, scientific and intellectual pursuits. Conde was
concerned that the history of this period was available only
through works that were unreliable and prejudiced against the Arabs
and his aim was to provide an accurate account of what was an
important period in the history of Europe and of Islam. War and the
passage of time had destroyed many of the important libraries but
Conde undertook extensive research to locate and make use of
original Arabic manuscripts and he was the first person to use them
for a coherent history of the period. The three volumes represent
an important milestone in Hispano-Arabic studies and they have had
a lasting influence. Their re-issue will be welcomed by scholars
and all with an interest in this fertile and formative period. The
new Introduction by Professor Richard Hitchcock, a leading scholar
of Hispano -Arabic studies, provides an important a re-appraisal of
Conde, whose role in unearthing the history of al-Andalus, he
feels, has been much undervalued.
