In mudejar art, that mixture of Christian and Mohammedan which sprang up in reconquered lands, among the elements taken almost unalloyed from the Arabs are certain details in carved wood which hold an honoured place among plaster, tile and brick. By the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries they were common both in the districts still under Mohammedan rule and in mudejar territory, especially Toledo and Andalucia. -- Preface.

This book discusses a group of medieval carved ivory horns, namely oliphants. It draws upon medieval visual as well as literary sources both Arabic and Latin, with an eye to providing an original interpretation of these objects. In doing so, it breaks new ground in the understanding of both oliphants and the historical context of medieval artefacts in general.
