Atlantic Ocean, and from the Mediterranean to the Niger, was in ancient times inhabited by a people to whom we give the general name of Berbers, but whom the ancients, particularly those of the Eastern portion, knew under the name of Moors. \"They were called Maurisi by the Greeks,\" said Strabo, \"in the first century A.D., and Mauri by the Romans. They are of Lybian origin, and form a powerful and rich nation.\"1 This name of Moors is applied not only to the descendants of the ancient Lybians and Numidians, who live in the nomad state or in settled abodes, but also to the descendants of the Arabs who, in the eighth century A.D., brought with them Islamism, imposed by the sabre of Ogbah and his successors. Even further was it carried, into Spain, when Berbers and Arabs, reunited under the standard of Moussa and Tarik, added this country to the empire of the Khalifa. In the fifteenth century the Portuguese, in their turn, took the name to the Orient, and gave the name of Moors to the Mussulmans whom they found on the Oriental coast of Africa and in India.\u003cbr\u003eThe appellation particularizes, as one may see, three peoples entirely different in origin--the Berbers.","brand":"Morisco Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079062339824,"sku":"2940012898609","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012898609_p0.jpg?v=1763574240","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012898609","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
