6th ed. (1st 1592-1600) of a late 16th-c. pseudo-history of the Islamic conquest of Spain, purported by its author to have been written during the 1st half of the 8th c. by a Muslim captain who directly participated in the events of the conquest. In his chronicle, Luna (1550-1619) re-writes Spanish history and portrays the conquering Moors, who were considered to be the predecessors of the Moriscos, in a positive light. Ref.
