This paper looks at Arabic Studies in 17th-century Spain. According to the Traditional interpretation, this century saw an «eclipse» in Spanish oriental Scholarship. On the contrary, I will try to show that there was a continuous and Permanent interest in Arabic Studies in Spain, not least because of the numerous Questions raised by the forgery of the Lead Books of Sacromonte of the late 16th Century. To demonstrate this continuity, I study several translations of Arabic texts Into Spanish, some hitherto unknown or considered lost. I also discuss the cases of Various prominent Spanish scholars and historians of the time, who, like the marquis of Mondéjar, devoted themselves to Arabic Studies as an essential Instrument for constructing the history of Spain.
