«El médico de Córdoba» is the historical novel by Herbert Le Porrier, published by Grijalbo in paperback (278 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the twelfth century, when Córdoba was a centre of learning in the medieval world and where Arab, Christian and Jewish cultures coexisted, the novel recreates the life of Moses Maimonides from his childhood in the city to exile after the Almohad invasion; across the Mediterranean his prestige as physician, philosopher and sage grows.
In 1995 it was published within the Libro de Mano collection. The edition falls within historical narrative and literary fiction.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction interested in medieval Al-Andalus and the figure of Maimonides.
