Mozarabic poetry

Mozarabic poetry refers to the poetic works created by the Christians who lived under Muslim rule in medieval Spain, particularly from the 8th to the 11th centuries. Written in their language and cultural context, these poems often blend Christian themes with Arabic influences, reflecting a unique cultural exchange. They employed specific styles and meters influenced by Arabic poetry, and their content ranged from religious devotion to personal reflection. Mozarabic poetry is valued for its linguistic richness and its role as a cultural bridge between Christian and Muslim traditions in medieval Spain.
