Reviews for Memorandum for the President of the Royal Audience and Chancery Court of the City and Kingdom of Granada
"This is an original and audacious work that heightens the political import of Francisco Nunez Muley's Memorandum even as it highlights its relevance for modern readers interested in the current relations between Islam and the West. Scholars in the humanities will find these intercultural dialogues with Islam to be an extraordinary resource." - Maria Antonia Garces, Cornell University"
