List of Moorish Writers

Writers from Andalusia, in the period 750–1496, writing in Arabic are generally referred to as Moorish writers. For a part (1085–1238) of that Moorish period, Andalusia and Morocco formed one state. After that (1238–1492) the Merinid dynasty of Morocco kept close ties with the Kingdom of Granada.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or writers:

    “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    “I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Many writers are neither spirit nor wine, but rather spirits- of-wine: they can catch fire, and then they give off heat.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
