A dynamic vision of medieval Castilian culture and the Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin strands that are woven into its fabric Named a Book of the Year by the Times Literary Supplement, this lavishly illustrated work explores the vibrant interaction among different and sometimes opposing cultures, and how their contacts with one another transformed them all. It chronicles the tumultuous history of Castile in the wake of the Christian capture of the Islamic city of Tulaytula, now Toledo, in the eleventh century and traces the development of Castilian culture as it was forged in the new intimacy of Christians with the Muslims and Jews they had overcome.  The authors paint a portrait of the culture through its arts, architecture, poetry and prose, uniquely combining literary and visual arts. Concentrating on the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the book reveals the extent to which Castilian identity is deeply rooted in the experience of confrontation, interaction, and at times union with Hebrew and Arabic cultures during the first centuries of its creation. Abundantly illustrated, the volume serves as a splendid souvenir of southern Spain; beautifully written, it illuminates a culture deeply enriched by others.… (mais)

This may be the single most stunningly beautiful book in my library. The authors collect a wide range of artistic, architectural, literary, and geographic images, rendered by brush, lens and word, and paint the history of early Castile through these images. It is a deeply interconnected and vivid set of tableaus that bring the land alive.

This is a scholarly work worthy of Gerard of Cremona. ( )

From the title, this book sounds boring. However, it is far from boring. Although a scholarly work, it is written clearly and with panache. The subject -- how Castilian culture stems from three traditions -- is fascinating. The book also contains gorgeous pictures ( )
