Routledge 12/6/1996 Paperback or Softback New in New jacket Muslim Spain and Portugal: A Political History of Al-Andalus (Paperback or Softback)

ISBN10: 0582495156, ISBN13: 9780582495159, [publisher: Routledge, London] Softcover Paperback. This study of the political history of Muslim Spain and Portugal is based on Arab sources.
