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.

The minor arts of the Caliphate of Cordoba, famed by traveler and chronicler alike, are well exemplified in a series of carved ivory boxes which are eloquent of the perfection and refinement of workmanship of the Spanish Arabs. They appeared slightly after the middle of the tenth century and ceased within the next hundred years. In shape they are round with domed covers or rectangular with the cover either flat or more often with sloping sides. -- Preface.

Although German architects were busied on the cathedrals of Burgos and Toledo by the middle of the fifteenth century, it was not until almost the last decade tht retablos showing strong traces of Flemish and German influences began to be produced in quantity. This florid Gothic style, which took firmest root in Castilla, lasted through the first fifteen years of the sixteenth century, gradually merging into the Renaissance manner. -- Preface.
