The present paper deals with the account of the faqīh Ṭālūt’s vicissitudes, which originated in Ibn al-Qūṭiyya’s work and was reproduced by several Andalusi and Eastern authors. From the historiographical analysis of that account we can conclude that the fact that some of these authors concur on reproducing a large version is due to their derivation from a common subarchetype, which was responsible for the rhetorical amplification of Ibn al-Qūṭiyya’s original text. Therefore, the existence of a large version of Ibn al-Qūṭiyya’s chronicle must be ruled out.
