Diarmaid MacCulloch Quotes

The City Of Granada, So Gloriously Provided With Architectural Reminders Of Its Islamic Heritage, Was Particularly Anxious To Show That It Was A More Ancient And Distinguished Christian Centre Than Toledo Or Santiago De Compostela, And It Also Wanted To Outface The Upstart Royal Capital Madrid. These Aims Were Much Assisted By The 'discovery' From 1588 Onwards Of A Series Of Forged Early Christian Relics (plomos, Or Lead Books) Hidden In The Minaret Of The Former Main Granadan Mosque And In Various Nearby Caves.
