Channel: IEMedievais
Date: 2018-04-18

The third session of SEM - Seminário de Estudos Medievais (Seminar of Medieval Studies), the first one by a foreign scholar as visiting scholar at the Institute for Medieval Studies at Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of NOVA University of Lisbon (NOVA FCSH).

David Peterson intends to revisit the theme of the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century. Drawing on arguments of various kinds, particularly those related to document analysis and toponymy, this researcher proposes a historical reading of a space for a chronology less known and less worked by national historiography.
