Dos Crónicas Magrebíes MedievalesAl-Ḏajira Al-Saniyya y Rawd al-Qirtas

Abstract

In the present communication I intend to expose my conclusions on a small comparative study between two of the earliest Maghreb chronicles throwing information about the North African tribe of Banū Marin y arrival to the throne in the thirteenth century Maghreb. With these common features, allowing a more complete picture of an era, which is undoubtedly the least known of the merinid period, their beginning. The similarities and influences between them are such that there are different theories about a possible common authorship. After concluding the study and subsequent analysis of these works, can be extracted that there are substantial differences on a structural and stylistic level that hinder the possible absolute identification of author of the Ḏajira Al-Saniyya with the author of Rawd al-Qirtas.
