Exhibit in Spain Commemorates 600th Anniversary of Death of Great Muslim Intellectual
May 15, 06 | 11:39 am

Starting this month visitors to Seville will be able to view a fascinating exhibition commemorating the 600th anniversary of the death of history’s most important – but little known – Muslim intellectual and learn more about one of the past’s most traumatic, and nastiest, centuries. Kicking off May 19, “Ibn Khaldun, the Mediterranean in the 14th Century: Rise and Fall of Empires,” will be presented in one of Spain’s most beautiful buildings, the Real Alcázar through September 30 and could not be more timely. Almost 300 works – a renowned altarpiece, an astrolabe, a Sultan’s helmet, a priory chair, a Koran lectern, a Moorish king’s sword, centuries-old manuscripts, bejewelled goblets and gold coins – have been gathered from museums and libraries throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Är det några muslimer i Sverige som kommer ihåg dessa stora personligheter?
