This volume collects articles addressing the formation of an Andalusi linguistic, religious and cultural identity that reflects the complexity of a medieval society on the borders of Islam and Christendom, the background against which other developments (including the emergence of a sophisticated Andalusi scientific tradition) must be assessed. Twenty-one essays discuss language and religion, intellectual and artistic developments, and the exact and natural sciences. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
