“…He portrayed them as uneducated Berbers possessing a barbaric rigid doctrine in comparison with the highly sophisticated culture of al-Andalus. 12 He depicted them as 'harsh, fanatical warriors from the Sahara' 13 and claimed that it was in al-Andalus where the Almoravids found their main support among the men of religion, ʿulamāʾ (sing. ālim) and fuqahāʾ (sing.…”

European scholarship developed a strong a tradition of Oriental studies, especially from the nineteenth century. A Dutch hispanismo was born from the pioneering spirit of some scholars who realized the importance of drawing more attention to the Spanish culture and language in the late nineteenth century. Notably, the history of al-Andalus did not prompt any great interest, except for the scholar Reinhart Dozy whose work exerted a major influence both in his time and later. This article aims to examine whether Dozy's writings on the topic of the Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula tend to stereotype both the Arab and the Christian Latin cultures as a result of his analyses of historical sources. Some of the Dozy's source interpretations, which have been thoroughly studied elsewhere, are brought here and refuted in an attempt to raise the issue of the impact of bias in a text presentation when it comes to the reader's assumption about Muslims and Christians from the medieval historical period. In addition, this article points out some putative determinant factors in Dozy's analyses of the sources based on his known private and academic life. We may conclude that Dozy's approach to the subject of Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula fails to present the account of this Iberian period in all its otherness. Nowadays, this abridgment can be overcome with an integrated approach in which perspectives emerging from different disciplines are applied in order to render interesting empirical and theoretical insights.

Emevîler döneminde Müslümanlar tarafından fethedilen İspanya, İslami yönetim altında yaklaşık sekiz asırlık bir tarihi sürece tanıklık etmiştir. Bu süreçte Endülüs olarak anılan ülke beş siyasi safhaya ev sahipliği yaptı. Bunlar sırasıyla Fetih ve Valiler, Endülüs Emevîleri, Mülûkü’t-tavâif, Mağribîler (Murâbıtlar ve Muvahhidler) ve son olarak Nasrîler Dönemidir. Mağribîlerin ilk hanedanı olan Murâbıtlar’ın lideri Yusuf Endülüs’ü kendi ülkesine kattıktan sonra tahtını oğlu Ali’ye bıraktı. Ali de babası gibi, artık kendi ülkesinin büyük bir eyaleti konumundaki Endülüs’ün hem idaresini hem savunmasını aynı yürütmeye çalıştı. Bu makale, Ali’nin başşehir Marakeş’ten devleti yönetmedeki siyasi tarzı, başarısı ve başarısızlıklarına bağlı olarak, Endülüs’ü yönetme ve savunma siyasetinin hem uygulamalarını hem bu uygulamanın sonuçlarını kapsamaktadır. Amacı ise, Ali’nin bu siyasetinin başarısı veya başarısızlıklarının hem sebeplerini hem de sonuçlarını, ayrıca genel olarak Murâbıtlar’ın ve özel olarak ise Ali döneminin Endülüslüler üzerindeki siyasi ve sosyal etkilerini araştırmak ve değerlendirmektir.
