| description | Living together in the Iberian Peninsula since 8th century the Islamic, Christian and Jewish groups were contributed to the birth of Mudéjar architecture in the 11th century. This style, which was appealed to the big three religion, was generously applied following the re-conquest movements of the Christian Kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula when they tried to get rid of their Muslim enemies. Mudéjar architecture is one of the problematical topics of the architectural history writing mechanism. The studies that define Mudéjar origins and character were mostly conducted by the Spanish scholars. While a group of the scholars explain that Mudéjar origins have Islamic roots, another emphasizes its Christian aspects. Notably, recent researches have altered former classifications concentrating on geographical facts in addition to cultural varieties. This study investigates the sources of the Mudéjar architecture and takes attentions to the origin, identity and historiographical problems which are common to the architectural history studies. An evaluation of Mudéjar writing history particularly that of survey books will help us to identify the obscurities associated with Mudéjar concept and clarify the conceptual and terminological tools in histories related to it. |
