	Alhambra: Encyclopedia II - Alhambra - History
		The name Alhambra, signifying in Arabic the red (Al Hamra الحمراء), is probably derived from the colour of the sun-dried tapia, or bricks made of fine gravel and clay, of which the outer walls are built.
		Some authorities, however, hold that it commemorates the red flare of the torches by whose light the work of construction was carried on nightly for many years; others associate it with the name of the founder, Mahomet Ibn Al Ahmar; and others derive it from the Arabic Dar al Amra, House of the Master.
		The palace was built chiefly between 1248 and 1354, in the reigns of Al Ahmar and his successors; but even the names of the principal artists employed are either unknown or doubtful.

		Legend does claim that Don Isaac Abravanel, who had previously ransomed 480 Jewish Moriscos of Malaga from the Catholic monarchs by a payment of 20,000 doubloons, now offered them 600,000 crowns for the revocation of the edict.

		Then in the 7th century, the Venetians again faced an invading presence that threatened their self-preservation: a decree from the capitol of the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople that forbade the use of icons and holy images in worship.
		They realized that the Empire couldn't really afford to enforce the decree, but just in case they chose to, the Venetians elected a Doge to serve as their leader and statesman in relations within the city and throughout the Empire.
		The election of a Doge stopped just short of a declaration of independence, as it established the republican form of government in a city that technically was under the rule of an empire.

	Abravanel's Response to the Alhambra Decree - meaning of word
		The Alhambra Decree, issued in 1492, ordered the expulsion or conversion of the Jewish population of Spain, leading to the diaspora of the Sephardim throughout the Maghreb, the Middle East and south-eastern Europe.
		While most of the Jewish population took the Decree in stride, it was opposed eloquently and vociferously by Don Isaac Abravanel, who likely would have succeeded in his efforts to get the Crown to annul it, had it not been for the last-minute intervention by the Inquisition.
		Following the failure of his attempts to get the Catholic Monarchs to cancel the Decree, he wrote a scathing and prophecy response thereto, on the eve of his departure.
