In the first place, the fact of comparing González Ferrín to a great philologist and historian like Américo Castro demonstrates that Castro is no longer read as a historian, but has been reduced to a mere label. There is a vast body of serious literature on the concept of "the two Spains", studied in terms of the complex intellectual history of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century Spain.[1] Against this complex backdrop, we find CH miserably outfitted with his flimsy idea of the "third Spain." For CH, then, to be fully European implies renouncing this Islamic past, and we historians at the CSIC are an example of the tension - and resulting anguish - inherent in this plan to de-Islamize the history of Spain. This is also the reason for CH's excessive attention to a handful of historians - myself included - from Spain's national research council, the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC).
