Opis

A richly detailed account of the little-known cultural and political relationship between Elizabethan England and the Islamic world. In 1570, after plots and assassination attempts against her, Elizabeth I was excommunicated by the Pope. It was the beginning of cultural, economic and political exchanges with the Islamic world of a depth not again experienced until the modern age.
