[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] No, all Moors were not black because later in time the term loosened up and referred to various Muslims. Thus we have: * black-a-moor * tawny moor * white moor. But take note from Black-a-Moor (black as a Moor) that Moor must've originally designated a black person. While there are plenty a black-a-moor in Orientalist art I haven't seen too many pieces of actual Islamic art with any blacks in them. The stuff I've run across is mostly like the below but I'm sure somebody can find better pieces than this. [IMG]http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/527/zanjsaleis8.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]Originally posted by T. Rex: [qb] To be honest, I have to express some doubt that the Moors were all black. If that was true, why'd they depict themselves like this? [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/anahita_whitehorse/bayad-wa-riyad-3.jpg[/IMG] It's from "Qissat Bayad wa Riyad". [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Also it is important to note that the time period given for the creation of this document is during the Almoravid Dynasty. Therefore, such a manuscript, with its influence and similarity to eastern artistic trends and literary traditions, probably does not really depict "Moors" or more specifically Almoravids to any large degree. It was under the Almoravids that a large resurgence in literature and art occurred in Andalus, of which this document is quite likely part.
