Evidence

The facial types they show us (we must beware of trusting in the coloration in some of our library copies, where such tints were added later by others and not by the artist) are of an “Iberian” rather than an “Arab” cast-insofar as such epithets have any meaning in this context. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 82
