Treasures and wondrous objects in Gothic Toledo and Muslim Medieval culture


 The aim of the present contribution is twofold. On the one hand we shall discuss the background of some Islamic legends about places and
 wondrous objects – holy relics of the past – that had once been in the possession of the Gothic monarchy by inheritance, but were
 subsequently lost or looted out of al-Andalus by the Muslim leaders. On the other hand our study is concerned with the relationship between
 the content of the legends in question and the “loss of Spain” in a more general sense, i.e. not only the loss of these objects by the
 Christian Goths subsequent to their loss of power in Spain, but also their disappearance from Muslim ownership. Besides, the legends possess
 a moral core, which is interesting in its own right: the way in which they are viewed in the Muslim sources, the locations and objects they
 describe, and their relationship to the Gothic monarchy may provide the modern reader with an insight into the striking vision of the past
 held by the invading Muslim culture.
