The literature of al-Andalus, also known as Andalusi literature , was produced in Al-Andalus, or Islamic Iberia, from the Muslim conquest in 711 to either the Catholic conquest of Granada in 1492 or the Expulsion of the Moors ending in 1614. Andalusi literature was written primarily in Arabic, but also in Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, Aljamiado, and Mozarabic.
Abdellah Hilaat's World Literature Encyclopedia divides the history of Al-Andalus into two periods: the period of expansion, starting with the conquest of Hispania up to the first Taifa period, and the period of recession in which Al-Andalus was ruled by two major African empires: the Almoravid and the Almohad.
