I actually work with Judeo-Arabic texts (particularly the Judeo-Arabic of Maimonides and Yehuda HaLevi) but I honestly know almost nothing about the history of Judeo-Arabic(s). What is a/are some good books that I might read?

And if you find that boring: I've been frustrated by the term 'Judeo-Arabic' for a long time...please feel free to submit your nerdiest and snarkiest suggestions for a replacement term.
