Riassunto

This book recounts the history of Andalusia, a region in Southern Spain. Part of a larger work detailing the history of Spain, this volume explores Andalusia from the Roman period to the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in the 15th century. The author provides a geographical overview of the region, including its major cities, rivers, and mountains. Andalusia was ruled by the Moors for several centuries, and this book examines the significant impact of Moorish culture on the region, especially in architecture, art, music, and education. The book also explores Andalusia's transition to Christianity and its eventual incorporation into the Spanish monarchy. The author discusses the region's economy, focusing on its trade and manufacturing, especially in textiles and precious metals. The book concludes by highlighting the significant contributions of Andalusian scholars, artists, and writers to Spanish culture.
