THE MOORS IN SPAIN BY STANLEY LANE-POOLE, B.A., M.R.A.S. EDITED BY FAHEEM JUDAH-EL D.D. FOR AXUM PUBLICATIONS 2013. AUTHOR OF “THE BARBARY CORSAIRS,” “TURKEY,” “SALADIN,” ETC. WITH THE COLLABORATION OF ARTHUR GILMAN, M.A. AUTHOR OF “A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,” “THE STORY OF ROME,” “THE STORY OF THE SARACENS,” ETC. THE history of Spain offers us a melancholy contrast. Twelve hundred years ago, Tarik the Moor added the land of the Visigoths to the long catalogue of kingdoms subdued by the Moslems. For nearly eight centuries, under her Mohammedan rulers, Spain set to all Europe a shining example of a civilized and enlightened State.
