Informationen zum Autor A. Katie Harris is an assistant professor of history at the University of California, Davis. Klappentext In 1492, Granada, the last independent Muslim city on the Iberian Peninsula, fell to the Catholic forces of Ferdinand and Isabella. A century later, in 1595, treasure hunters unearthed some curious lead tablets inscribed in Arabic. Granadinos greeted these curious documents, the plomos, as proof that their city -- best known as the last outpost of Spanish Islam -- was in truth Iberia's most ancient Christian settlement. In 1682, however, the pope condemned the plomos as forgeries. From Muslim to Christian Granada explores how the people of Granada created a new civic identity around these famous forgeries. Zusammenfassung Through its focus on the intersections of local religion and local identity! it offers new perspectives on the impact and implementation of Counter-Reformation Catholicism.
