From the publisher
First line
These are the first days of August 1492.If we go down to the docks in the great Spanish port of Cadiz we are overwhelmed, barely able to find a square inch on which to stand, scarcely able to glimpse the ships amassed in the harbor.
From the rear cover
"One of the multiple perspectives that Professor Menocal's book offers to the reader is to understand it as a genealogy of the discipline 'Romance Philosophy'. . . . Romance philology, for Menocal, is a late concretization of a century-long process of nostaglia: a nostalgia for a truly 'multicultural' world which constituted the 'Middle Ages' on the Iberian penisula and which was definitely destroyed, from 1492 on, by the Inquisition and the conquest of America as double departure towards European modernity. Menocal's genealogy of this nostalgia reveals an almost uncanny closeness between lyrical poetry and erudite discourses as the basis for academic medievalism."--Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Stanford University
