Summary

This chapter presents the translation of a poem by Ibn Zaydun, titled Nuniyya. This volume is concerned with the details of typically "mixed" Andalusi forms. In al-Andalus, there is a full range of communities and individuals, and not only Muslims, whose language is Arabic. Alongside Andalusians with unimpeachable "classical" credentials such as Ibn Hazm and Ibn Zaydun and Ibn al-Khatyb, a portrait of complex individuals such as Ramon Llull and Petrus Alfonsi, is presented in their own ways not unlike the horseshoe arches of San Roman. The volume presents widely disparate fields: from the French medievalist whose interest has been aroused by notices of Hispano-Arabic culture having some interaction with Provencal to the specialist in Hebrew poetry who may want to understand the Jewish Golden Age, from graduate students in European medieval studies who will need to understand something of this central culture to the Ottomanist interested in the makeup and history of so many refugees in the sixteenth century.
