Arabic culture was a central and shaping phenomenon in medieval Europe, yet its influence on medieval literature has been ignored or marginalized for the last two centuries. In this ground-breaking book, now returned to print with a new afterword by the author, Mar�a Rosa Menocal argues that major modifications of the medieval canon and its literary history are necessary.
