Description

Explore a remarkable historical archive preserved at Granada's Sacromonte Abbey through this comprehensive scholarly work by Brill. This volume examines Arabic texts inscribed on parchment and lead tablets, discovered in late sixteenth-century Granada within the tower of the former Friday Mosque and caves of the Valparaiso hillock. These extraordinary documents represent among the final literary productions of the Moriscos, Andalusi Muslims who maintained Islamic practices in secret during a period of religious transformation. The texts sparked considerable European controversy and were condemned by papal authority in 1682, making them subjects of intense scholarly debate. This edition provides general introduction, critical analysis, and complete translation, offering readers access to these rare artefacts and their historical significance within Spanish and Islamic heritage.
