Al-Andalus—Muslim Spain—occupies a special place in human history. On the one hand, al-Andalus was part of the vast world of Islam; on the other, it existed in close contact with its European neighbors, was a major center of learning, and served as a conduit for elements of the then-higher Arab culture to penetrate Europe. This book by W.M. Watt and P. Cacia chronicles the Muslim conquest of Spain in the early 8th century, the establishment of the flourishing Caliphate of Cordoba by the descendants of the Umayyads, the collapse of Arab rule and the rise of North African Berber dynasties, and finally the Reconquista and the fall of the Emirate of Granada, the last Muslim stronghold on the Iberian Peninsula, in 1492.
William Montgomery Watt (1909-2006) and Pierre Cacia (1921-2017) were British orientalists. The leading role in their duet was played by W.M. Watt, Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Edinburgh and author of works on the history, philosophy and culture of Islam.
