Recommendations for Books on the Moors?

Could you please tell me the names of some good history books that talk about the Moors?  I am interested in learning how the Moors and the Muslims interacted.

Thanks

Judy

Dear Judy,

 

There are lots of books available on Moorish history, including some that narrow the geography down. Here are a few from which you might take a pick:

The Moorish Empire: A Historical Epitome, by Budgett Meakin (1902)

History of the Moorish Empire in Europe, by Samuel Parsons Scott

The Story of the Moors in Spain, by Stanley Lane-Poole and Arthur Gilman

Morocco and the Moors, by Dr. Arthur Larned (1872)

Sincerely,

 

Jon Guttman
