D. José Antonio Conde - Historia de la dominacion de los arabes en España - 1844

Fascinating three-volume set illustrated with a frontispiece portrait and 6 figures on two folding plates, this extensive historical study devoted to the presence and domination of Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula, from the early Arab conquests at the beginning of the 8th century up to the latest episodes of Muslim power in Spain, with particular attention paid to the political, military, cultural, and religious evolution of Al-Andalus -

The edition is part of the tradition of 19th-century Spanish historiography, which seeks to reconstruct, from Arabic chronicles, Christian sources, and historical documents, the events that permanently transformed the peninsula after the arrival of the Muslim armies in 711 -

The narrative begins with the crisis of the Visigothic kingdom and the circumstances that favored the invasion led by Tariq ibn Ziyad and Musa ibn Nusair, then describes the rapid advance of the conquerors across the peninsula territories, the collapse of the Visigothic monarchy, and the gradual establishment of Muslim power -
