Resumen
El capítulo inicial de este «companion» es el único de la sección titulada «The Environment». No incorpora fuentes primarias literarias, pero puede resultar de interés para quienes deseen profundizar en este novedoso ámbito de estudio: «The climate and ecology of the medieval period have begun to be mapped but have yet to be integrated into Iberian historiography. The history of the seas that surrounded the peninsula, and the species that lived in them, has just begun to be studied. Religious attitudes to the natural world have as yet received very little attention on either the Islamic or the Christian side (…). Both medieval conquests of the Iberian Peninsula produced profound transformations in the relationships between humans and their environments. Islamic and Christian rule over the environment in Iberia were different in their objectives and their effects. But both cultures also shared a tradition of landscape creation and intervention» (p. 13)
