Excerpt from Cordova: A City of the Moors IT would be unnecessary to enlarge upon the reasons for including a study of Cordova in this series of Spanish Handbooks: indeed a series of this description would be incomplete without it. The beautiful, powerful, and wise Cordova, the City of Cities, ' 'the Pearl of the West, ' 'the Bride of Andalus, ' as the Arabian poets have variously named it, - the ancient capital of Mohammedan Spain, is still one of the most curious and fascinating monuments of this singularly interesting country.

The beautiful, powerful, and wise Cordova, -"the City of Cities," "the Pearl of the West," "the Bride of Andalus," as the Arabian poets have variously named it, - the ancient capital of Islamic Spain, is still one of the most curious and fascinating monuments of this singularly interesting country. Much water has flowed under the sixteen arches of the bridge which spans the Guadalquivir since "Cordova was to Andalus what the head is to the body, or what the breast is to the loin"; the Moorish city of the thirty suburbs and three thousand mosques, whose fame once obscured the glory of ancient Damascus, is no longer the centre of European culture. "The brightest splendour of the world" has been lost in centuries of neglect and decay, and the new light of a modern civilisation has not shone upon the remains of its mediaeval grandeur. But the Cordova of the great Khalif is still the most African city in Spain; its mosque remains to give us a clearer and fuller idea of the power and magnificence of the Moors than anything else in the Peninsula, not excepting even the Alhambra; and in its narrow, uneven streets and mysterious, silent patios in the gold and crimson of its fragrant gardens, the student and the artist may find unending interest and enchantment.

THE history of Spain offers us a melancholy contrast. Twelve hundred years ago, Tarik the Moor added the land of the Visigoths to the long catalogue of kingdoms subdued by the Moslems. For nearly eight centuries, under her Mohammedan rulers, Spain set to all Europe a shining example of a civilized and enlightened State. Her fertile provinces, rendered doubly prolific by the industry and engineering skill of her conquerors, bore fruit an hundredfold. Cities innumerable sprang up in the rich valleys of the Guadalquivir and the Guadiana, whose names, and names only, still commemorate the vanished glories of their past. Art, literature, and science prospered, as they then prospered nowhere else in Europe. Students flocked from France and Germany and England to drink from the fountain of learning which flowed only in the cities of the Moors. The surgeons and doctors of Andalusia were in the van of science: women were encouraged to devote themselves to serious study, and the lady doctor was not unknown among the people of Cordova. Mathematics, astronomy and botany, history, philosophy and jurisprudence were to be mastered in Spain, and Spain alone. The practical work of the field, the scientific methods of irrigation, the arts of fortification and shipbuilding, the highest and most elaborate products of the loom, the graver and the hammer, the potter's wheel and the mason's trowel, were brought to perfection by the Spanish Moors. In the practice of war no less than in the arts of peace they long stood supreme. Their fleets disputed the command of the Mediterranean with the Fatimites, while their armies carried fire and sword through the Christian marches. The Cid himself, the national hero, long fought on the Moorish side, and in all save education was more than half a Moor. Whatsoever makes a kingdom great and prosperous, whatsoever tends to refinement and civilization, was found in Moslem Spain.
