Amaya o los vascos en el siglo VIII (Amaya, or the Basques in the 8th century) is a Romantic historical novel published in 1877 (in the magazine Ciencia cristiana)[1] and in 1879 (as a book) by Francisco Navarro-Villoslada, a noted novel by a Navarrese author.[2] The story is placed during the invasion of Visigothic Kingdom by the Moors. In line with the author's conspiracist imaginary, the story-building is permeated by anti-Semitic prejudice.[3]
