""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)""

Since its discovery in Madrid's Biblioteca Nacional and publication in 1899, Francisco Nunez Muley's Memorandum has become a key source for understanding the culture of early modern Spain's Moriscos (Christian converts from Islam), and the increasingly tense relations between this minority group and the Castilian majority in the decades that led up to the Moriscos' expulsion in 1609. . . . Vincent Barletta's excellent translation and edition now makes this important text available for an English-speaking public. . . . Together, the translated text and annotations make Nunez Muley's Memorandum accessible to specialists and to general readers alike. --A. Katie Harris, University of California, Davis Journal of Religious History
