Abstract


This is a study of the common people of Cordova as represented in the Bayān for the years 1002-1031. They are the Cordovans excluded from power: the ‛āmma and the middle class. This group, variously named, includes those involved in trade, from shopkeepers and artisans in the market to prominent merchants (tuǧǧār). The people, dominated by the authorities, play a passive role in Cordovan life; they witness public events and support the the authorities when asked. But they can also take control of the public sphere, both by their vox populi and by violence; then power in the urban areas is inverted, and the authorities no longer control the public arena.
