The Jewish presence in Granada
In contrast to almost all other Spanish cities and townships, nothing tangible survives in Granada that might be reminiscent of Judaism. There is no trace of an ancient synagogue on either side of the River Darro, neither on the hills nor on the plain. On the right bank, region of the oldest settlement, rises the hill of widest dimension, the ‘Albaicín’. On the left bank ascends the steeper hill ending in several summits: a pointed one atop the ‘…

Son of the Alhambra
Son of the Alhambra. Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, 1504-1575
Son of the Alhambra
Son of the Alhambra
Last of the Spanish Renaissance men, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (1504–1575) was a master of the humanist disciplines as well as an active diplomat whose correspondence provides insight into the workings of power politics in the first post-Machiavellian decades. This account of Mendoza's diplomatic career is a living commentary on the mid-sixteenth century, the time of the Spanish Inquisition and the Reformation, with its upheavals in the European b…

Mendoza's Renunciation of Fame as Revealed in His "Carta VI" from Alcantara
T HAS ALWAYS BEEN PUZZLING why Diego Hurtado de Mendoza published nothing under his name during his lifetime. Without considering in this paper the variety of scholarly, satirical, and historical works which are his or are attributed to him, I propose to question why, in a time when there was a lively demand for collections of Spanish verse, he did not even publish his poetry? (In the sixteenth century books of Spanish poetry appeared continuousl…
The Legendary `First' Military Campaign of Philip II
Philip II, as everyone knows, was an armchair strategist; he lacked the physical stamina of a military man, and the nearest he came to seeing a field of battle was his visit to St. Quentin (1557) after his troops had gained him a great victory there. Charles V was wise enough not to push his son beyond his limits; he never made him participate in one of his many wars. Yet a legend of relatively recent origin now sees Philip take part, at the age …
In Search of Arabic Influences on Borges
T HE FICTIONAL work of Jorge Luis Borges is so meaningful as to provoke the reader into making new discoveries even after uncounted readings. The purpose of this paper is to find, if not an ultimate understanding of Borges' meaning, at least a new trail in our quest for what is probably unreachable. I suggest that there may be a connection, however tenuous, between Borges' oxymoronic thinking (a concept to be discussed below) and Arabic thought, …
Diego Hurtado de Mendoza and Averroism
