Historic Persons of Al-Andalus: Islamic Spain
Many short one-page readings fit very nicely into the odd left-hand pages (we begin each new topic area on a right hand page). But there were five we had to scatter throughout the work, in places where they seem not to fit the particular subject being examined. We therefore call to your attention that we have produced brief biographies of five remarkable people of Al-Andalus:
Ibn Rushd (Averroes)
Fatima of Cordoba
Paloma of Toledo
Ziryab
Ibn Maymun (Maimonides)
