Excerpt from Spanish Mystics: A Sequel to 'Many Voices' Mysticism has been termed 'the natural produce of the soil of Spain.' It breathes not only in her theology, but in her literature and in her fine arts. Sharp contrasts of climate, tastes, and habits are to be found in the different provinces of the Iberian Peninsula, but to the student of Spanish history one prevailing element pervades the whole and seems to unite the opposing forces. It is this religious sentiment which is everywhere predominant, and which has ever formed an integral part of the national character. In the early annals of Spain the nation was not exempt from the taint of Arianism; but when, in the sixth century, under her Gothic king, Recared, she renounced its errors and accepted the orthodox faith preached by Leander and Isidore, every power was thenceforth devoted to the maintenance of that Catholic faith with which her greatness became indissolubly united. The wars which she waged were in defence of orthodoxy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
