Traducciones entre el árabe y el beréber en época almohade: referencias históricas

Abstract

This article provides an analysis of historical references to translations between Arabic and Berber in the Almohad period. We examine all the data that we have been able to collect and we also perform a brief reconnaissance of the precedents in the Maghreb region. The Almohads translations between Arabic and Berber and the official use of the latter must be considered in the context of islamization and reform promoted by the dynasty, an impulse that could have weakened or disappeared with the last sovereigns. Finally, we seek to respond to the questions that arise from the analysis about the nature and function of these translations.
