The article focuses on a possible source for William Rowley's play "All's Lost By Lust." Particular attention is given to how excavations and compilations of early European and Arabic texts can provide insight on the influences on the play outside the historical events of the Moorish invasion. The article discusses a three-volume anthology of historical texts titled "Christians and Moors in Spain," edited by Charles Melville and Ahmad Ubaydli which was published by Aris and Phillips between 1988 and 1992. Colin Smith acquired European texts for the first two volumes and Melville and Ubaydli collected Arabic texts for the third volume. The author argues that from these, it's possible to note that there is a Spanish and Arabic text that contain different versions of a story about the fall of Iberia to the Moors.
