keep it up my dude, I really enjoy your podcasts
Thank you!
Muy bien Caballero y Gracias igualmente
Excellent work -- thanks for these podcasts! Entertaining & thorough coverage a vast array of topics. I've been binge-listening over the winter break and listened to all of them...
A question for the Q&A -- could you say something more about the way the so called "Golden Age" of el Andalus is interpreted (or invented)? I read both Menocal's and Fernandez-Morera's books, and found the former to be ridiculously soft and avoided mentioning many mass slaughters; and the latter to be rather ill-tempered and dismissive of Islamic culture and contributions. But I read them a few years ago and might be being unfair... Any thoughts?
...I found Menocal's book interesting, I should say, and listened to Ferdinand's as an audiobook some years ago, so I didn't check its details closely enough to form any real opinion -- so I don't mean to criticise the book.
Thank you! Make sure to suscribe to the podcast, and the newsletter is great too for deals of the store!
As for your question, I recorded yesterday the Q&A and it's already available on Patreon. About the two books, they represent the extremes. The truth is something in the middle, unfortunately a lot of academics believe too much in Menocal's idealized vision. I think I mentioned this in one of the episodes, but the Muslims had several states in the Iberian Peninsula during more than 700 years, so of course there were better and worse periods. Culturally, the best period was the Caliphal and First Taifa period. You will have to wait to hear me about the Golden Age of al-Andalus because it will require research (I learn as I research for the episodes too), but keep this idea in mind that 8th century Muslim Spain isn't the same as 10th or 13th century al-Andalus. Making generalizations and demonize or idealize something is always bad while talking about history. Things rarely are black or white.
Thanks for answering my vague and late question! I noticed on twitter, that the Q&A had just gone up shortly after I posted this. Looking forward to the coming episodes...

Would that mean technically Basque is related to Latin by like a cousin twice removed.
