Harvey, L. P. Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614

Why This Source Matters

Harvey anchors the site's post-1492 coverage. It helps explain what changed after conquest, how Muslim communities were pressured and reclassified, and why Morisco history cannot be treated as a vague epilogue to medieval al-Andalus.

Best Uses

Use this source for Morisco history, forced conversions, Christian royal policy toward former Muslims, the Alpujarras revolt, surveillance and repression, and the expulsions ending in 1614.

Limits

This source begins after Islamic rule in Iberia had ended. Pair it with Harvey's 1250-1500 volume, Arie, or other Nasrid studies when explaining the transition from Granada's last century to post-conquest life.

Citation Practice

Cite this source for post-1500 Muslim and Morisco claims. Avoid using it as evidence for Umayyad, taifa, Almoravid, Almohad, or Nasrid society before conquest.

Page-Range Guidance

The University of Chicago Press record verifies the chapter sequence, but not stable page starts. Use chapter 1 for the beginnings of crypto-Islam; chapters 2-4 for Muslims under the new order and forced conversion in Castile, Aragon, and Valencia up to 1560; chapter 5 for intellectual life; chapter 6 for the Granada crisis and war, 1567-1571; chapters 7-8 for assimilation, rejection, and late Arabic writing; chapters 9-10 for expulsion and aftermath; chapter 11 for Hornachos; and the appendices for official expulsion texts and related documents. Add exact page ranges from a checked copy before using it as a pinpoint citation.
