Text of Note

Besides highlighting the legitimacy of Islam, a religion that was prohibited by the Spanish Inquisition during the 1500's, Aljamiado-Morisco literature has been distinguished by its secrecy, hybridity, ethnocentrism, proselytism, and emphasis on the chaotic reality of the clandestine social group considered to be the 'last Moors' of Spain. The Spanish-Muslims or Moriscos wrote this underground literature in the Spanish language, utilizing Arabic characters. The work of historians and "moriscologists" such as L.P. Harvey, Luce López-Baralt, María Teresa Narváez, Vincent Barletta, among others, have examined the practical role and didactic value that -at various levels- these hybrid texts had for the 16^th Century Moriscos, how this secret community reacted to their manuscripts, and in what way these documents helped them to strengthen their Islamic faith and identity. However, the interdisciplinary and theoretical approach followed by scholars in the field of Aljamiado studies, have not explored in depth the possible role that the concept of Transcendence (or the existence beyond the physical level) had among the Crypto-Muslims during the 1500's. The conception that humans can inhabit in a spiritual realm beyond the physical world, exists in all Eastern and Western religions. This metaphysical hypothesis has been studied by the Traditionalist or Perennialist School of Thought.
