Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from John Dryden, Vol. 1 of 2
The plot of the play is, in part, taken from history. During the last years of its existence, Granada, the poor remnant' of the Moorish empire in Spain, was torn totpieces with intestine discord, and assailed without by the sword of the Christians. The history of the civil wars of Granada, affirmed to be translated into Spa nish from the Arabian, gives a romantic, but not altogether fabu lous, account of their discord. But aromance in the French taste, called Almahide, seems to have been the chief source from which our author drew his plot.
