520 |a In the late sixteenth century, treasure hunters in Granada, Spain, discovered a series of forged documents and saints' relics, collectively referred to as the plomos (lead books) of Granada. Through a close reading of a seventeenth-century ecclesiastical history of Granada, this article examines how interpretations of the plomos allowed for a recasting of Moorish Granada's past in a Christian mold. The history's author, Francisco Bermudez de Pedraza, uses the plomos to style Granada as an ancient Christian republic, led by its patron saint and first bishop, Saint Cecilio. Spiritual progenitor and supernatural protector, Saint Cecilio was seen to have preserved Christianity in Granada throughout the centuries of Islam. This article considers how this invented history lent the legitimacy of antiquity to constitutions of post-conquest Granadino civic identity.
