Hispano-Arabic literature

Hispano-Arabic literature refers to the body of written works produced by Arabic-speaking scholars, poets, and thinkers in the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) during the period of Islamic rule from the 8th to the 15th centuries. It includes poetry, philosophical texts, history, science, and religious writings that blend Arabic language and cultural influences with local contexts. This rich literary tradition fostered cross-cultural exchanges and significantly influenced both the Islamic world and medieval European thought. It reflects a vibrant era of intellectual growth, artistic expression, and intercultural dialogue in medieval Iberia.
