Resumen de Parliamentary permissiveness, conciliation and tolerance towards the Valencian Islamic community in the early Golden Age
María Magdalena Martínez Almira
This study of relations between the Islamic community and the Kingdom of Valencia between the Reconquest and the sixteenth century demonstrates that they were characterized by a substantial degree of tolerance. Much Islamic life continued to be regulated by Islamic law and communal institutions until the latter part of the period. The article considers conditions for the Muslims before the introduction of legal changes to their rights to live in the kingdom and their conversion to Christianity, the establishment of new powers relating to religious belief, the specific issue of the Mudejars, and changes to Valencian penal law in the face of the Muslim community's religious perseverance.
