David James

A History of Early Al-Andalus (eBook, ePUB)

The Akhbar Majmu'a

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Akhbar majmu'a has in recent years been a topic of fierce debate, thought to be either one of the oldest original sources for the history of early Islamic Spain or a late compilation of earlier sources. This book examines the early history of Islamic Spain and provides a translation of this key contemporary account.
