Abstract

Nafh al-Tib min ghosn al-Andalus ar-ratib wa dhikr waziriha Lisan Al-Din Ibn Al-Khatib, written by Abu Al-Abbas Al-Maqri (986-1041AH/1578-1631AD) is one of the most important sources on the history of medieval Spain; it is an encyclopedia that recorded events related to the Islamic Maghreb in general and Andalusia in particular in its various aspects: political. Intellectual, literary and social, and what gave more value to this source is the use by its author of lost historical sources. My study in this article will focus on an important historical stage that Andalusia experienced during the reign of the Umayyad Caliph Hisham Al-Muayyad bi-llah (372-399AH/982-1008AD), the ruler who witnessed the coexistence of the formal reign of the Umayyad dynasty which represented the spiritual authority exercised by the Umayyad caliphs, passed under the yoke of the 'Amiride family, which took the reins of the management of Andalusia passed into the hands of an real authority headed by Muhammad bin Abi 'Amer.
