| Sumario: | This book is the first published English-language translation of the significant "History of Islamic Spain" by Ibn al-Qu.tiya (d. Cordova 367 / 977). Including extensive notes and comments, a genealogical table and relevant maps, the text is preceded by a study of the author and his work. Ibn al-Qu.tiya's work is one of the earliest and significant histories of Muslim Spain and an important source for scholars. Although like most Muslims of al-Andalus in this period, Ibn al-Qu.tiya was of European origin, he was a loyal servant of the Iberian Umayyads, and taught Arabic, traditions (.hadith) and history in the Great Mosque of Cordova.Written at the height of the Umayyad caliphate of Muslim Spain and Portugal (al-Andalus), "The History" describes the first 250 years of Muslim rule in the peninsula. The text, first fully translated into Spanish in 1926, deals with all aspects of life, and includes accounts of Christians, Jews and Muslim converts. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of the history of Spain and Portugal, Islamic history, and Mediaeval European history. |
