The Orient in Spain
Taking as its main subject a series of notorious forgeries by Muslim converts in sixteenth-century Granada (including an apocryphal gospel in Arabic), this book studies the emotional, cultural and religious world view of the Morisco minority and the complexity of its identity, caught between the wish to respect Arabic cultural traditions, and the pressures of evangelization and efforts at integration into “Old Christian” society. Orientalist scholarship in Early Modern Spain, in which an interest in Oriental languages, mainly Arabic, was linked to important historiographical questions, such as the uses and value of Arabic sources and the problem of the integration of al-Andalus within a providentialist history of Spain, is also addressed. The authors consider these issues not only from a local point of view, but from a wider perspective, in an attempt to understand how these matters related to more general European intellectual and religious developments.

Il libro manoscritto da Oriente a Occidente
Questo volume, concepito inizialmente come seconda edizione riveduta, corretta e aggiornata del precedente Il libro manoscritto. Introduzione alla Codicologia (n° 124 di questa collana), è in realtà una redazione ampliata e modificata, come dimostra la rinnovata veste tipografica. In un momento in cui l'abbattimento delle barriere politico-ideologiche diventa un obiettivo di urgente necessità, l'indagine sulla scienza del libro prima di Gutenberg, o Codicologia, dall'autrice concepita in modo integrale - storia del libro antico e medievale e delle relative tecniche di fabbricazione sino alle sue odierne sedi di conservazione, e storia degli studi -, viene spinta oltre i confini delle civ...
