| Title: | Medina Mayrit : The Origins of Madrid |
|---|---|
| Description: | 'Medina Mayrit, the Origins of Madrid'explores the evolution of Madrid from the pre-Roman era to its Christian conquest of the late 11th century. Particular emphasis is placed upon Madrid's Moorish foundations dating to its days as a modest fortress with a small military population during the 9th and 10th centuries, as well as the Moreria of the early Christian era. The author highlights colorful personalities and shows how, throughout al-Andalus or Moorish Spain, Mayrit was a leader in pottery techniques, agricultural methods, and hydraulic engineering. She also notes existing landmarks and sites of archaeological, architectural, and geographical interest. A chapter is dedicated to the nearby city of Toledo, as Mayrit was founded by the Moors to protect this important kingdom against Christian incursions from the north. The author closes with etymological theories relating to terms and place-names appearing throughout the book, and provides historical and geographical background. |
