علم الأنساب في التراث الأندلسي بين تقلبات السياسة و تقاليد المجتمع : دراسة تاريخية في مراحل انبعاثه و ملامح انكماشه فيما بين القرنين الثالث و الخامس الهجريين

Abstract EN

The research focuses on studying genealogy in Andalus and its spread as a social tradition and as a scientific activity.

It is considered an Oriental idea spread in Western environment, and monitoring its development will help in understanding the cultural influences of Arabs in Andalus.

It is important here to clarify that the purpose of genealogy in this study is the genealogy of the Arab tribes that settled in Andalus throughout the Islamic period, so that the other Islamic groups such as, al-Mawali, Barbers and al-Mowaledeen, have been culturally affected by the Arabs, and the rest who have been disloyal - particularly the Barbers due to their tribal composition - did not care for the genealogy and its political and social implications, as this is the initial indicator of accepting the idea in the local community.

After that a second stage of developing genealogy has appeared, it was of a scientific nature represented in some Non-Arab knowledge seekers who were interested in the Arab Genealogy, which is the second indicator of accepting the idea of genealogy in Andalus.

Furthermore, when Caliph al-Hakam al-Mustansir (350 AH - 366 AH / 961 AD -976 AD) started to trace the Arabs, there was no general discontent from the Non- Arab Islamic branches in Andalus.

some Non- Arab scientists participated in this project, which is the third indicator of accepting the concept of genealogy in their societies.

In spite of the above indicators, the Arab genealogy has been affected by the political fluctuations, as the strong relationships between the Arabs and the ambitions of their armies were the main reason to be tribally dismantled by the politicians, so that the damage of forming genealogy from that side was greater than the conflicts happened between the elements in the same population.
