Spanish translation of this fifth book, covering the years 912-942 in MJ. Viguera and
F. Corriente (tr.), Cr6nica del Calif a 'Abdarmhman III An-Nasir entre los anos 912 y 942
(Zaragoza, 1981), and of the fragment covering most of the years 971-975 in E. Garda
Gomez (tr.), Anales palalinos del Califa de COrdoba Al-lfakam II, POT 'Isa ibn Ahmad Al-Rtiz!
(Madrid, 1967). The relevant sections of the geographical work of Ibn Ijawqal are
translated in MJ. Romani Suay, Ibn Hawkal: Configuraci6n del mundo (Valencia, 1971).
For Ibn Idhari, whose work written around the year 1300, makes up some of the gaps
in that of Ibn l:Iayyan see R. Dozy (ed.), Kitiih AI-Bayan AI-Mughrib par Ibn Idhiir! Ai-
Marrakushi, vol. II (Leiden, 1951); there is an old French translation of this in E.
Fagnan, AI-Bayano'I-Mogrib, vol. 2 (Algiers, 1904). A similarly elderly translation exists of
the sections of the Iraqi historian Ibn al-Athir's work, written c. 1231, that is relevant to
Spain and North Mrica: E. Fagnan, Ibn al-Alhir: Annales du Maghreb et de l'Espagne
(Algiers, 1901).
The two mid-eighth century Latin chronicles are edited in]. Gil, Corpus Scriptorum
Muzarabicorum (2 vols Madrid, 1973), pp. 7-54. The more important of them, the Chronicle
of 754, is also edited with Spanish translation in ].E. Lopez Pereira, Cr6nica Moztirabe de
754 (Zaragoza, 1980). This is accompanied by a study: ].E. Lopez Pereira, Esludio critico
sobre la Cronica Moztirabe de 754 (Zaragoza, 1980). On the earlier Chronicle of 741 see C.E.
Dubler, 'Sobre la cronica arabigo-bizantina de 741 y la influencia bizantina en la peninsula
iberica', AI-Andalus, 11 (1946), pp. 283-349.
The classic political history of Spain under the Umayyad dynasty is E. Levi-Provenyal,
Histoire de l'Espagne musulmanne, vols 1 and 2 (Leiden and Paris, 1950), which replaces
all earlier surveys. See also the appropriate volumes in the general series of histories of
Spain mentioned above (Bl).(d) The Christian Realms
Extraordinarily, a German, a French and a Spanish critical edition of the late ninth/
early tenth century Asturian chronicles have all been published in the course of the last
decade. Of the three that ofJ. Gil,J.L. Moralejo and].I. Ruiz de la Peiia, Cronicas asturianas
(Oviedo, 1985) provides the best text. There is even more substantial apparatus, as well
as the texts of later versions, in J. Prelog, Die Chronik Alfons' III (Frankfurt/Bern/
Cirencester, 1980), and, although the text is over classicised, there are copious notes in
Y. Bonnaz, Chroniques asluriennes (fin 1Xe siecle) (Paris, 1987). For the tenth centu!]'
Leonese kingdom and the Chronicle of Sampiro, recourse has to be made to]. Perez
de Urbel, Sampiro, su cronica y la monarquia leonesa en el siglo X (Madrid, 1952); for the
use of it in the twelfth century see also]. Perez de Urbel and A. Gonzalez Ruiz-Zorrilla
(eds), Histaria Silense (Madrid, 1959).
The fullest study of the Asturian kingdom remains that of C. Sanchez-Albornoz, Los
Origenes de la nacion espanola: el &ino de Asturias (3 vols Oviedo, 1972-5), which is made
up of reprints of some of his older articles and some new material. There is a good
single volume survey of the history of the kingdom in P. Garda Torai'io, Histaria de el
&ino de Asturias (Oviedo, 1986). The older but still highly salutory study of L. Barrau-
Dihigo, first published as an article in Revue Hispanique in 1921, is made available in a
Spanish translation in Histaria politica del reino asluriano (718-910) (Oviedo, 1989).
Several of the articles in the collection first published in 1949 as Estudios sobre la monarquia
aslwiana (reprinted Oviedo, 1971) remain of value. The only full-length study of an
individual Asturian king is still A. Cotarelo, Hisloria critica de la vida de Alfonso III el Magno
(Madrid, 1933).
For the Leonese monarchy there exist a series of studies of the reigns of all its rulers
from Ramiro II (931-51) to Sancho I (956-66). J. Rodriguez, Ramiro II, rty de Leon
(Madrid, 1972); idem, OrdonolII (Leon, 1982), and idem, Sancholy Ord01ioIV(Leon, 1987).
Various volumes of the series Coleccion fuentes y estudios de histaria leonesa are devoted to
articles on Leonese history, under the section title Leon y su hisloria. On the County of
