NOTES

1 See p. 128, where his observation on this is quite correct, although he does not include all of the articles which have been written on Jews of Valencia (there are not many) in his own bibliography.

2 See especially p. 87, and pp. 83–84 on St. Bernard and Peter the Venerable, only partly reflective of the real situation (in his note there, Burns indeed cites Salo Baron, but Baron makes clear the bigotry both of St. Bernard and Peter the Venerable). The discussion of Lull, especially p. 93, is good but overlooks some important bibliography. Jeremy Cohen's cited portrayal of Lull's Jewish attitudes is extremely naive and incorrect (see my review of that book, forthcoming in Jewish Quarterly Review).

3 Menéndez Pidal appears to have changed his position somewhat in his note in Enciclopedia lingüística hispánica, Alvar, M. et al. , eds. (Madrid, 1966), vol. 1, p. xxvii.Google Scholar For the important Muslim lexicographer lbn Sīda, mentioned by Burns, see especially Haywood, J. A., “Ibn Sīda (D. 458/1066), The Greatest Andalusian Lexicographer,” Primer Congreso de Estudios Arabes y Islamicos, Actas (Madrid, 1964), pp. 309–16. The overwhelming evidence for al-Andalus will be discussed in my own eventual book on Jewish-Muslim-Christian symbiosis in medieval Spain.Google Scholar
