Eastern Europe, of course, was an entirely different case, especially in the Balkans, ruled by the Ottoman Empire – though it began to lose territory in the 1700s – and in large regions of southeastern Europe that were gradually absorbed into the Russian Empire. In certain areas of these territories Muslims either ruled or formed a majority, while in others they were a significant minority. Nor did they disappear from Balkan lands altogether, for there are still nuclei of Muslim populations outside the small area of European Turkey, as well as in much of southern Russia. We shall not be concerned with those cases here, however, since they are substantially different from those of Western Europe.1 As to Central and Western Europe, it has been and to some extent continues to be thought that the Muslim presence in the Early Modern period was scarce and brief, and therefore insignificant.2 But recent research has proved that it was much more significant than has been acknowledged until now. The step from seeing Muslims as a groupe invisible to regarding them as étrangers familiers represents a significant advance in our understanding of the matter. We now have monographs on a considerable swath of European territory that show a good number of Muslims either visiting or living there for varying periods of time and many different reasons.3 We also have overall views for a few countries, particularly France,4 Great","PeriodicalId":274340,"journal":{"name":"Muslims in Spain, 1492-1814","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125448283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Philip v tried unsuccessfully to recover them, but from 1734 on his son, the future Charles iii, wore the crown of King of Naples and Sicily.1 The Bourbons’ North African policy produced better results: they strengthened their hold on the few territories Spain still held there and recovered some that had been lost.2 They managed to lift the siege of Ceuta initiated by Muley Ismail (1694– 1727)3 and to regain the presidio of Oran and its port at Mazalquivir, conquered by the Algerians in 1708.4 A Spanish fleet also helped to expel the Turks from Corfu in 1716.5 At this point it had become clear that Spain’s hegemony belonged to the past and that the nation had to accept the decline of its empire. Pressure from England and France forced the elites of the Bourbon state to adjust to the new times, and in the spirit of reform they refocused their attention on the Mediterranean. A new policy began to emerge visàvis the Muslim enemy, who no longer seemed so fearsome as before. To assure the defense of Spain’s southern flank, and navigation under the Spanish flag, the monarchy began to seek stable and permanent relations with Morocco, the Regencies, and the Ottoman Empire. The Bourbons took some time to develop their negotiations with Muslim countries; we know little about the North African and Levantine policies of","PeriodicalId":274340,"journal":{"name":"Muslims in Spain, 1492-1814","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121133263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we noted above, the greatest attention has been focused on two specific minority groups, Moriscos and slaves. The first were expelled from Spain between 1609 and 1614, although a certain number managed to evade expulsion or return to the Peninsula later on. The second were almost always a minority among all slaves in Spain in the Early Modern period, except at specific times and places; the vast majority came from the Atlantic coast of subSaharan Africa, although many of those arrived already Islamized. It is also true that the number of slaves on Spanish territory fell drastically from the second half of the seventeenth century and continued its decline through the eighteenth, though there was a slight increase in the late 1700s as Spain joined the slave trade with the American colonies. Most historical works about Muslims in Spain, therefore, concentrate on the Moriscos (more or less Christianized, more or less Islamized) from 1492 to 1614. And the enormous bibliography on slavery concentrates on slaves from subSaharan Africa in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, leaving Muslims on the margins. Moriscos and slaves, in short, have captured almost all the interest of historians even though, as we shall see, free Muslims were very numerous.","PeriodicalId":274340,"journal":{"name":"Muslims in Spain, 1492-1814","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122378452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
