À propos de l'auteur
Stanley Lane-Poole (1854–1931) was a British orientalist, archaeologist, and numismatist, best known for his scholarly work on the history of the Middle East and the Islamic world. Born on December 18, 1854, in London, he was the grandson of poet and translator Edward William Lane, who instilled in him an early interest in Eastern cultures. Educated at Trinity College, Oxford, Lane-Poole specialized in Arabic studies and embarked on a career that combined academic research, excavation, and writing. Much of his work focused on documenting the history and influence of Islamic civilization. His nuanced understanding of Middle Eastern history and culture culminated in several important works. Among these, 'The Moors in Spain,' first published in 1886, stands out as a seminal work that provides a comprehensive account of the Moorish rule in the Iberian Peninsula from the early 8th century till its decline in the late 15th century. Lane-Poole's approach combined historical rigor with vivid narrative, a style that garnered both scholarly and popular acclaim. In 'The Moors in Spain,' Lane-Poole offers readers a window into a civilization that significantly impacted European art, science, and philosophy. His literary style often combines an academic approach with an accessible prose, which allowed him to reach a wider audience. Lane-Poole's legacy lies not just in his substantial contributions to Oriental studies and numismatics but also in his ability to bring the history of the Islamic world to life through his engaging writing.
