They became the object of heated discussions in Europe and were condemned by the Pope in 1682. The texts are among the very last literary productions of the Moriscos, the Andalusi Muslims, many of whom continued to practice Islam in secret until their expulsion from Spain between 1609 and 1614. With the permission of the archbishop of Granada, we offer, for the first time in history, a study, edition, translation, and images of all the tablets and shed new light on the fascinating religious messages of these enigmatic texts and their authors. The two authors cooperated for many years in the study of the Arabic and Romance writings (often in Arabic script, Aljamiado) of the Muslim minorities in Medieval and Early Modern Christian Iberia. Their publications in this field have appeared in books and international peer-reviewed journals, such as, for example, their article 'The Islamic Statute of the Mudejars in the Light of a New Source' (Al-Qantara XVII, 1996)"-- |
