A Good Book On Medieval Spain

"The Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews, and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain" is a book by María Rosa Menocal, published in 2002. PBS also made a very watchable Documentary about it. There is some real relevance to our time. I have read and re-read the books a couple of times. Same with the DVD. I am an amateur medievalist but I don't have the latin and language skills outside of English to be a professional. I still love the history though. I really recommend the book and the video.
