TL;DR: A study of the intellectual history of the Andalusi Christians (alias Mozarabs) of Spain based on their Arabic and Latin polemical writings against Islam, 1050-1200, is presented in this article.
Abstract: This is a study of the intellectual history of the Andalusi Christians (alias Mozarabs) of Spain based on their Arabic and Latin polemical writings against Islam, 1050-1200. The first part of the book examines how these authors drew on earlier Oriental Arab-Christian theology, 12th-century Latin-Christian theology and the foundational texts of Islam itself, the Qur'an and Hadit, for polemical purposes. The second part is a critical edition and English translation of the "Liber denudationis siue ostensionis aut patefaciens" (alias "Contrarietas alfolica"). Since it describes how the Andalusi Christians participated in the pluralistic intellectual milieu in which they lived, this study should be of interest to historians of medieval Spain's minority groups, Christian-Muslim relations and the Arab-Christian tradition.
TL;DR: The history of al-Andalus is described in detail in this article, where the authors present a case study of Arab urbanism in Muslim Spain, including the development of Andalusi Belles Lettres and the emergence of the Golden period.
