The first monograph devoted to the legal status of religious minorities status accorded to dimmī-s ( Jews and Christians) in the Muslim law in the medieval Muslim west (the Maghreb and Muslim Spain). The articles in this volume provide numerous examples of the richness and complexity of interreligious relations in Medieval Islam and the reactions of jurists to those relations. The studies brought together in this volume provide an important contribution to the history of ḏimmī-s in the medieval dār al-islām, and more generally to the legal history of religious minorities in medieval societies. The central question addressed is the legal status accorded to ḏimmī-s (Jews and Christians) in the Muslim law in the medieval Muslim west (the Maghreb and Muslim Spain). The scholars whose work is brought together in these pages have dealt with a rich and complex variety of legal sources. Many of the texts are from the Mālikī legal tradition; they include fiqh, fatwā-s, ḥisba manuals. These texts function as the building blocks of the legal framework in which jurists and rulers of Maghrebi and Peninsular societies worked. The very richness and complexity of these texts, as well as the variety of responses that they solicited, refute the textbook idea of a monolithic ḏimmī system, supposedly based on the Pact of ‘Umar, applied throughout the Muslim world. In fact when one looks closely at the early legal texts or chronicles from both the Mashreq and the Maghreb, there is little evidence for a standard, uniform ḏimmī system, but rather a wide variety of local adaptations. The articles in this volume provide numerous examples of the richness and complexity of interreligious relations in Medieval Islam and the reactions of jurists to those relations.

Situé à une trentaine de kilomètres au sud-est de la petite ville aragonaise de Huesca, le site de Las Sillas à Marcén a fait l’objet depuis de nombreuses années de recherches archéologiques. Ce livre regroupe l’ensemble des découvertes réalisées tout en mettant en relation cet habitat avec les autres établissements musulmans de cette partie de l’ancienne Marche Supérieure d’al-Andalus. Les recherches ont permis d’y mettre au jour un vaste habitat rural occupé tout au long des xe-xie siècles, avant qu’il ne soit abandonné après la conquête des lieux par les troupes du roi Pierre Ier d’Aragon (1094-1104). Établi dans l’ancien district castral de Gabarda et associé à une mosquée, le site fut occupé par une communauté rurale et sa fondation témoigne de l’empreinte de la ville dans ces campagnes. Constitué par de nombreuses céramiques, des meules, des objets métalliques et des monnaies, le mobilier découvert s’est avéré à la fois abondant et varié, en particulier pour l’époque de la taifa hudide de Saragosse. Il constitue ainsi un reflet de la vie des populations rurales et de leurs activités, tout en révélant leur faible militarisation. En el apogeo del Califato de Córdoba, a mediados del siglo X, se fundaron varios asentamientos rurales en el Valle del Ebro con el fin de explotar tierras para la producción de cereales, una parte de los cuales abastecía a los centros urbanos regionales como Huesca. Uno de estos asentamientos, asociado a una mezquita, fue Las Sillas en Marcén (Huesca), objeto de una serie de cuidadosas campañas de excavación que han proporcionado un nuevo panorama del mundo rural de al-Andalus durante los siglos X y XI.

The Musical Heritage of Al-Andalus is a critical account of the history of Andalusian music in Iberia from the Islamic conquest of 711 to the final expulsion of the Moriscos (Spanish Muslims converted to Christianity) in the early 17th century. This volume presents the documentation that has come down to us, accompanied by critical and detailed analyses of the sources written in Arabic, Old Catalan, Castilian, Hebrew, and Latin. It is also informed by research the author has conducted on modern Andalusian musical traditions in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria. While the cultural achievements of medieval Muslim Spain have been the topic of a large number of scholarly and popular publications in recent decades, what may arguably be its most enduring contribution – music – has been almost entirely neglected. The overarching purpose of this work is to elucidate as clearly as possible the many different types of musical interactions that took place in medieval Iberia and the complexity of the various borrowings, adaptations, hybridizations, and appropriations involved.

Este livro fala do nascimento de Elvas. Há vestígios de povoamento humano no seu território desde fases pré-históricas, mas as primeiras menções escritas a Elvas e à existência do seu núcleo urbano surgem nas obras de geógrafos e de cronistas de uma Idade longa a que, no Ocidente, se convencionou chamar de Média. Porém, é nos séculos de domínio islâmico - no quadro do desaparecido al-Andalus - que a cidade se revela, possivelmente não muito distante da fase em que se funda Badajoz. Mas, poder-se-á dizer que é uma fundação «árabe»? E, ao ser integrada nos domínios do reino de Portugal, as marcas da sua pertença ao al-Andalus ter-se-ão apagado por completo? É para algumas destas questões que esta obra propõe algumas respostas. Sem pretender abranger todos os aspectos das dinâmicas e do quotidiano dos primeiros séculos de vida de Elvas, este livro atravessa os séculos do domínio islâmico, tenta interpretar o processo de incorporação desta cidade no jovem reino de Portugal e a forma como soube gerir a sua nova posição de fronteira em face de um reino vizinho, também ele conquistador de terras do Sul, com o qual sempre existirão relações e cumplicidades - mais que conflitos, que também houve. É uma outra Elvas que então se afirma; será uma das principais portas do reino, crescerá em número de habitantes e em área urbanizada, e nas suas ruas e campos cruzar-se-ão judeus, cristãos e muçulmanos até finais do século XV.
