Attracting from both Religious and Islamic resources, Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain demonstrates that the clash of forearms between Christians and Muslims in the Iberian peninsula that commenced in the early eighth century was changed into a crusade by the papacy through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Successive popes accorded to Religious warriors ready to take part in the peninsular wars against Islam the same crusading benefits offered to those heading to the Holy Land. Joseph F. O'Callaghan obviously demonstrates that any study of the annals of the crusades must have a broader view of the Mediterranean to include medieval Spain. Following a chronological summary of crusading in the Iberian peninsula from the later eleventh to the middle of the thirteenth century, O'Callaghan proceeds to the analysis of warfare, armed forces financing, and the liturgy of reconquest and crusading. He concludes his publication with a awareness of the later periods of reconquest and crusade up to nov Granada in 1492, while noting that the religious benefits associated with crusading bulls were still offered to the Spanish until the Second Vatican Council of 1963. Although the issue defined in this booklet took place more than eight hundred years ago, recent situations remind the earth that the power of opinion, rhetoric, and action that provided delivery to crusade, holy warfare, and jihad remains a powerful make in the twenty-first century. The booklet is released by College or university of Pennsylvania Press.
