1. Hamilton Gibb, "Essays on the History of Islam," - British Empire origins, but a world of esoterica, Arab history - in process of getting feet wet here. More neutral, older.
2. Bernard Lewis, a neo-conservative spokesman for Arab-Islamic scholarship, Princeton?

We were two people, heading out, an improvised road trip. This site is being revised for relevance to this new Covid-and-upheaval world. The itinerary remains: Madrid, Pamplona, Cuenca, La Mancha, Toledo, Salamanca, Avila, Trujillo, Seville, Cadiz (then British Gibraltar), Granada, Cordoba (photo), Madrid. 2. Barcelona, Roses, Figueres, Ripoll, Seu d'Urguell [Andorra; then France]. Roncesvalles, Jaca, Huesca, Graus, Barcelona. Routine cites to history sources may be deleted.
