Introduction by: John G. Jackson 

We hear of how the #Moors arrived and conquered the Iberian peninsula, remaining for some 800 years. Tariq ibn-Ziyad, arriving in 711 AD, began an upheaval never before seen in the European continent. The #Moorish brought industriousness and commerce, a sophisticated code of laws, beautiful #architecture, and outstanding scholarly achievements in #astronomy and #mathematics - together, these would forever shape the culture of Spain 🇪🇸 and Portugal 🇵🇹.
