Cordoue And Grenade is a book written by Karl-Eugen Schmidt in 1906. It is a historical and cultural account of the cities of Cordoba and Granada in Spain. The book covers the period from the 8th century, when Cordoba was the capital of the Islamic caliphate in Spain, to the 15th century, when Granada fell to the Catholic monarchs of Spain. Schmidt provides a detailed description of the architecture, art, and culture of the two cities, including the famous Alhambra palace in Granada and the Great Mosque of Cordoba. He also discusses the intellectual and scientific achievements of the Islamic civilization that flourished in Spain during this period, including the translation of ancient Greek texts into Arabic and the development of new fields of knowledge such as algebra and astronomy.The book is written in a scholarly style, with extensive footnotes and references to primary sources. It is aimed at readers who are interested in the history and culture of Spain, as well as those interested in the history of Islamic civilization. Overall, Cordoue And Grenade is a comprehensive and insightful account of two of Spain's most important cities during a fascinating period of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
