The Court of the Caliphate of al-Andalus
A Note on an Arabic Graffito in the Cenacle on Mount Sion
A new reading and interpretation of one of the graffiti (G-IN 1, Fig. 7) described in Halevi S. - Berkovich I. - Chernin P. - Grigoryan S. - Harutyunyan A., “The Holy Compound on Mount Sion – An Epigraphic Heraldic Corpus (Part 1): The Walls of the Cenacle”, Liber Annuus 74 (2024) 331-374

Black Banners of Isis
Mal tiempo en Bagdad
El artículo analiza un pasaje autobiográfico de la vida de al-Ṭurṭūšī (c. 451/1059-520/1126, o Ŷumādā al-awwal 525/abril de 1131) contenido en el Siyar A‘lām al-Nubalā’ de al-Ḏahabī (673/1274-748/1348). El texto informa sobre una notable serie de fenómenos meteorológicos acaecidos durante la visita de al-Ṭurṭūšī a Bagdad en 478/1085-86. Fierro interpretó la historia como la descripción de un eclipse y como el origen del cambio de al-Ṭurṭūšī hacia…
Black Banners of Isis
Un hombre que nunca existió
Recientemente (en Al-Qanṭara, 32, 2011), Luis Molina ha estudiado el relato de Ṭālūt y el judío (ya conocido de las fuentes sobre la Revuelta del Arrabal), concluyendo allí que el judío es una pura invención. Aquí se propone que todo el relato, incluyendo también el carácter de Ṭālūt mismo, es inventado, creado probablemente en el curso del siglo IV/X. Lo que nos parece ser pruebas fiables carecen en efecto de veracidad. Las fuentes para Ṭālūt se…

Ibn Ḥazm and al-Andalus
Al-Fārisī and al-Yazīdī indicate descent from a Persian mawlā of Yazīd. Ibn Ḥazm spent most of the rest of his life wandering from city to city in al-Andalus. Ibn Ḥazm's own attitude to the ʿĀmirids is a puzzle. Some rivalry - indeed qualifies the elder Ibn Ḥazm as actually a minister of the elder ʿĀmirid. On the other hand, Ibn Ḥazm was also a vocal supporter - and by the time when he wrote Ṭawq had been a minister in the governments - of more t…
A dónde fueron los conversos al Islam? Dificultades en el estudio de la conversión al Islam en al-Andalus
Este trabajo discute una reciente propuesta para identificar a conversos al Islam en al- Andalus basada en su onomástica tal y como ésta se conserva en los diccionarios biográficos árabes del medievo. Se propone demostrar que esta propuesta no es viable en la práctica y, como consecuencia de ello, que no se puede identificar a tales conversos de forma que puedan someterse a un análisis estadístico
From Hellenism to Islam
The eight hundred years between the first Roman conquests and the conquest of Islam saw a rich, constantly shifting blend of languages and writing systems, legal structures, religious practices and beliefs in the Near East. While the different ethnic groups and cultural forms often clashed with each other, adaptation was as much a characteristic of the region as conflict. This volume, emphasizing the inscriptions in many languages from the Near E…
The Legend of the Septuagint
The Septuagint is the most influential of the Greek versions of the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. The exact circumstances of its creation are uncertain, but different versions of a legend about the miraculous nature of the translation have existed since antiquity. Beginning in the Letter of Aristeas, the legend describes how Ptolemy Philadelphus commissioned seventy-two Jewish scribes to translate the sacred Hebrew scriptures f…

Inventing Tradition and constructing Identity
cUmar b. Ḥafṣūm, el famoso rebelde antiomeya del siglo IX, en un momento dado de su carrera hizo gala de una larga y distinguida genealogía que incluía varias generaciones de musulmanes y cuatro de cristianos. En este artículo mantengo que esta genealogía es ficticia y fue inventada con fines políticos. No hay razón por la cual se pueda mantener que es genuina; no contamos con ningún otro ejemplo en todo el mundo islámico, y esta genealogía prese…
The christians of Al-Andalus
Los cristianos tuvieron oportunidades para sobrevivir como tales en al-Andalus, axinque esta supervivencia no se realizó de una manera colectiva, ni en la España islámica ni en la cristiana. El estudio se inicia en los años 850-859 (mártires de Córdoba), 1085 (conquista de Toledo) y culmina en 1120 (movimientos masivos de población en la frontera de las dos religiones)

The emergence of the Taifa Kingdom of Toledo
The period between the fall of the Umayyads of Cordoba and the emergence of the successor states in the Iberian peninsula is shadowy and unclear. In this article, I attempt to offer a micro-study of the process in one place. Using literary and numismatic sources, I attempt a reconstruction of events in and connected with Toledo, and of the list of rulers who were active there, in the first two decades of the fifth Islamic century. This list is mu…
