Ibn Ḥazm, al-Mu‛taḍid, Kitāb al-Faṣl, Political opinions, SevilleAbstract
This article tackles a difficult problem involving the biography of Ibn Ḥazm, namely the classical Arab historians have alluded to the fact that al-Mu‛taḍid, king of Seville, had persecuted Ibn Ḥazm and decreed that his books must be burnt. The same historians give no explicit nor accurate details on the political circumstances that led to this tragedy. We have studied and reconstructed the historical context of the events while taking greater advantage of some new facts discovered from our recent study on the textual history of Kitāb al-Faṣl.
