I was really impressed by the overall production quality and literary references but rather disappointed in the historical accuracy depicted of the period. I love the poem you mentioned. I'm actually working on a blog post about it currently! I totally agree with you.

Some people deal with stress in peculiar ways but really, you are quite right about their slanted view of what they found admirable in those times. And that whole business of contrasting Ibn Hazm with some Jewish man on purely dunyawi terms, that upset me. I just felt a renewed appreciation for muslim authors and the way they present the achievements of our scholars without touting the number of courts they worked in or how high (or low) they were on the economic ladder.
