History of the Reign of Philip the Second King of Spain, Vol. 3

Note 252 — Chapter VIII · REBELLION OF THE MORISCOES.

Reading edition

Tijola is the scene of the story, familiar to every lover of Castilian romance, and better suited to romance than history, of the Moor Tuzani and his unfortunate mistress, the beautiful Maleha. It forms the most pleasing episode in Hita's second volume (pp. 523-540), and is translated with pathos and delicacy by Circourt, Hist. des Arabes d'Espagne, tom. iii. p. 345 et seq.
