About This Book

The volume traces the Iberian caliphate’s political and military development during a period of internal fragmentation and external challenge, detailing aristocratic revolts, frontier conflict with Christian kingdoms, and the rise of an Ismaʿili-based caliphate in North Africa. It explores religious and social tensions—apparent conversions, protection of older faiths, secret societies and proselytizing networks—and shows how doctrinal disputes, clandestine organization, and government responses shaped alliances, campaigns, and administrative reforms that determined the region’s evolving balance of power.
