The Story of the Moors in Spain by Stanley Lane-Pool

Цитата:
Reprint edition, with an Introduction by John G. Jackson, of the book originally published in 1886. 285 pages. Black & white illustrations and maps. Index. Frontispiece: "The Alpuxarras." Cover illustration "The Moorish Chief" by Eduard Charlemont. ~ Book is clean, no edgewear, unmarked save for a circular colorless previous owner impression on half-title page. ~~ Black Classic Press, self-described as A Young Press With Some very Old Ideas, "specializes in bringing to light obscure and significant works by and about people of African descent." The current work, a classic in its field, was the first scholarly work on medieval Islamic cultures to be published in the English language. This important book contrasts the view of Eurocentric historians who claim that Europe brought civilization to Africa. This study demonstrates that, on the contrary, the Moorish Empire, which had territory in both Europe and Africa, was the most advanced state in the world during the Golden Age of Islam, and restored civilization to Rome after the Dark Ages. A significant work for students of African and European history.
