Description

The Akhbar Majmu'a, or Collected Accounts, represents the most significant contemporary source for early al-Andalus, documenting the Muslim conquest of the Iberian peninsula in 711 and subsequent developments through the reign of Abd al-Rahman III (912-961), founder of the Umayyad caliphate. This seminal text has generated substantial scholarly debate since its 1867 publication, with leading Islamic Spain researchers examining its contents and origins for over a century. Routledge's edition provides the first complete English translation of this crucial historical work, accompanied by comprehensive notes and analytical comments that illuminate the text for modern readers. Scholars, students, and historians of medieval Islamic civilization will find this translation essential for understanding the formative period of al-Andalus and the political, cultural, and religious dynamics that shaped early Muslim Spain.

Key Features

The Akhbar Majmu'a offers the most authoritative contemporary account of al-Andalus from the 711 conquest through Abd al-Rahman III's reign and the establishment of the Umayyad caliphate.

Routledge's first complete English translation makes this previously inaccessible Arabic text available to English-language scholars and students of medieval history.

Comprehensive notes and appendices provide scholarly context and analysis that enhance understanding of this historically significant medieval source document.

Part of the Culture and Civilization in the Middle East series, positioning this work within broader academic frameworks for Islamic and Mediterranean studies.
