A Vanished World : Medieval Spain’s Golden Age Of Enlightenment

Attribution
Chris LowneyPublication Details
BookFree Press2005Description
In a world troubled by religious strife and division, Chris Lowney’s vividly written new book offers a hopeful historical reminder: Muslims, Christians, and Jews once lived together in Spain, creating a centuries-long flowering of commerce, culture, art, and architecture. No less astonishing than medieval Spain’s wide-ranging accomplishments was the simple fact its Muslims, Christians, and Jews often managed to live and work side by side, bestowing tolerance and freedom of worship on the religious minorities in their midst.
