FOOTNOTES:
[A] Vide pictures 1-22, 25. Bracketed figures in the text refer to the
respective views.
[B] Cordova was taken soon after the battle of Jerez (711).
Abd-ur-rahman I., the founder of the Omaijaden dynasty began to build
the mosque in 785. The columns (their number is stated at between 1400
and 1500) were collected from buildings in all countries: Byzantium,
Rome, Carthage, Nîmes, Narbonne, etc.; hence their variety of form and
material (marble, porphyry, jasper, alabaster). In 1235 Cordova was
taken by the Christians. The erection of the choir was begun in 1523.
