Jennifer Lopez Prof. Burnham World History 10/24/12 Primary Sources Title: The Spanish Inquisition Objective: This essay analyzes the formation and features of the Spanish Inquisition as an ideology of the fifteenth century. It also explains the motives of the emergence of the inquisitorial Spain. The first cited sourced that I picked was from the book “The Origins of the Inquisition” in Fifteenth Century Spain, written by B. Netanyahu published in 1995. His master work is divided into sections regarding the Inquisitorial origins, its rulers, its failures and triumphs, and moreover about its motives. I picked this book since Netanyahu covers a very well detailed historical background about the origins of the Spanish inquisition; which provides the main sources of my first point of the essay.

Secular vs. Religious Art During Abbasid Empire The Islamic world extends from the Middle East through much of Africa, and east to Indonesia, and Western China. Under the Abbasid caliphate (750–1258), which succeeded the Umayyads (650–750) in 750, the focal point of Islamic political and cultural life shifted eastward from Syria to Iraq, where, in 762, Baghdad, the circular City of Peace was founded as the new capital. In this presentation I will cover a variety of ornate pieces from different regions under Abbasid rule that portray many ethnic flavors to Islamic secular and religious art. Islamic visual arts are ornamental, vibrant, and, in religious art, nonrepresentational and often associated with the arabesque style.
