Abstract

The subject this article pays attention to is part of a larger project, History of the Fortunate Isles, which we undertook years ago. Here we shall be taking into account this subject of study from the fourth to the fourteenth centuries, searching for the authors and works that deal with this concept in Greek, Latin and Arabic, and in five different types of text: mythic, mystic-religious, geographic, literary and mixed. Due to the lack of space, only some of these examples are provided.
