CONDE, José Antonio (1766-1820)

Historia de la Dominacion de los Arabes en España sacada de varios manuscritos y memorias arabigas, Madrid: Garcia, 1820-21.

First edition of the author’s magnum opus, an important work which presents ‘for the first time a complete version of the history of Islamic Spain’ (Monroe). ‘Conde’s history, extending from the Arab invasion of Spain in 711 to the expulsion of the latter in 1492 set up a basic framework which has been accepted by scholars ever since, for the author subdivided the period into historical ages that have remained essentially unchanged down to the present.’ Monroe, J. Islam and the Arabs in Spanish Scholarship. Leiden: 1970; Palau 59016.



3 volumes in 2, small quarto (205 x 146mm). 6 engraved plates (some staining, heavier in vols. II-III). Contemporary Spanish mottled sheep, red and green leather labels on spine lettered in gilt, (lightly rubbed). Provenance: Biblioteca de Domingo Sarmiento (bookplate) – Agustin Edwards (bookplate and label).
