摘要:The Lead Books, far from being a purely Moorish invention of its creators and in its ideological content, have at their base Medieval Christian traditions, a Catholic theology and the religious-political problems of modem Spain. In their origin, thinkers of a pronounced counter-reform view also actively participated. In the present state of research of the Morisco problem which goes beyond the monolithic, partisan vision of this ethnic group, it is essential to initiate new fields of interpretation of the books' contents and of the findings of Sacromonte in general. As an example, we suggest a treatment of the persons and themes fundamental to the thread of argument, as are the Apostle St. James, St. Cecil and the Virgin's inmaculate conception.
