Note 9 — The Towers, Courts, and Halls of the Alhambra.

Edited by Pablo Lozano. The antiquities and history of the Moorish domination in Spain remained unheeded until representations were made that research and accurate delineation would alone make their monuments intelligible. The Royal Academy of St. Ferdinand was commissioned to make drawings of the Palace of the Alhambra and of the Mosque of Córdova. The result of their labours were published at Madrid, in 1780, in a folio volume entitled as above, with sixteen plates of Arabic designs, accompanied by a few pages of letterpress. It is an exceedingly rare volume.
