Rezension:
"A blessing for faculty, but also a very useful introduction for students." (H-Soz-u-Kult, March 2014)
"Caliphs and Kings: Spain, 796-1031is a book for readers who seek interesting stories culled from Christian historical sources from the period from 796-1031, rather than for those who seek a book on the caliphal aspects of the same period." (Project Muse, 1 June 2014)
"Supported by useful royal genealogies and a vast bibliography. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries." (Choice, 1 November 2012)
