Description

Explore a significant piece of Spanish history with this scholarly work from Brill. This volume provides a general introduction, critical edition, and translation of the Lead Books of the Sacromonte and the Parchment of the Torre Turpiana, dating from 1588-1606. The text examines the historical treasures discovered in Granada at the end of the sixteenth century. These artifacts, consisting of Arabic texts on parchment and small lead tablets, were found in the tower of the old Friday Mosque and the caves of the Sacromonte hillock. These findings sparked intense debate across Europe and led to a papal condemnation in 1682. This book offers deep insight into the lives of the Moriscos, the Andalusi Muslims of Spain. It documents some of the final literary productions from a community that maintained Islamic practices in secret until their expulsion. This work is an essential resource for those studying the religious and cultural history of Granada and the complex legacy of the Andalusi people.
