The Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain
History
Menocal's account of Andalusian culture at its peak — a civilization where Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin scholarship cross-pollinated to produce philosophy, poetry, and science that catalyzed the European Renaissance. Graham highlighted it as an obscure favorite; it is a study in what cosmopolitan intellectual tolerance can actually produce.
