Abstract


Based on Almohad or on subsequent texts which were not totally «desalmohadised», this study tries to show that during the time of the Almohads, the word ṭalaba (a plural of ṭālib) was first used by Ibn Tūmart to designate his Companions and secondly, from the time of ‛Abd al-Mu’min onward, to refer to the official «clerks» organised in a corporate body and distributed all over the Empire: ṭālib(s)-oithe-attendance (ṭalabat al-ḥaḍar) working for the caliph on the one hand, and on the other hand the local groups of ṭālib(s) called «Almohads’ ‛ṭālib(s)» (ṭalabat almuwaḥḥidin) posted in every city working for the local governor. As they were contemporaries of Ibn Rušd (Averroès) it is interesting to examine in our text their presence around the philosopher qāḍī of Cordoba.
