Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to show the link between the use of written Arabic in post-conquest Granada and the need of the new rulers to preserve intact the fiscal system inherited from the Nasrid period, a move beyond the religious identitary connotations that the language used to entertain among the Old Castilians, the Mudejars, and the Moriscos. It focuses on the role of Arabic-Spanish translators, mostly Moriscos experienced in fiscal administration.
