Notes

1. The dissertation leaned considerably on the research of my article: Brian A. Catlos, ‘“Mahomet Abenadalill”: A Muslim Mercenary in the Service of the Kings of Aragon (1290–1291)’, in Jews, Muslims, and Christians in and around the Medieval Crown of Aragon: Studies in Honour of Prof. Elena Lourie, ed. Harvey J. Hanes (Leiden: Brill, 2003): 257–302, which I provided to the author prior to publication when he began his archival work, and which examines (albeit in far less detail) a number of the same themes addressed by Fancy. By way of disclosure, I am thanked by the author in the Acknowledgements of this book (xiii). I made the MHR editors aware of this; they requested that I review the book in any case.
