Fictions and Forgeries, Emperors and Others from the Spanish "Flores" Romances to the Lead Books of Granada --IndexThis book explores a millennium of literary exchanges among the peoples of the Maghrib, or westernmost strongholds of medieval Islam. In the seventh century, Muslim expansion into the western Mediterranean initiated a new phase in the layering of heterogeneous peoples and languages in this contact zone: Arabs and Berbers, Christians and Jews, Sunnī and Shīʿa Muslims, Greeks and Latins all helped shape identities, hybrid genealogies of knowledge, and political alliances. These essays excavate the literary artefacts produced in these times of turmoil, offering new perspectives on the intellectual networks and traditions that proved instrumental in overcoming the often traumatic transitions among political and/or religious regimes.Medieval globe.Multilingualism and literatureSicily (Italy)LiteraturesHistory and criticismIberian PeninsulaLiteraturesHistory and criticismNorth African literatureHistory and criticismIslamicate world.Maghrib.cultural exchange.literary cultures.medieval globe.Multilingualism and literature.809.1997Carpentieri NicolaSymes CarolUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910823123603321Medieval Sicily, al-Andalus, and the Maghrib4022261UNINA
