A Biographical
Dictionary of al-Andalus.
A who's who, as it were, because sometimes it
is hard to keep track!
The listing shall be as follows: Common name. Full
name. Dates: b. birth, d. died, r. reigned, a. active). Geographic
region, if significant. Works,
if any, and other such sundry information as necessary to say why we
should care about who this person is. Cross-links to bibliography, as
applicable for poets, historians, etc. Note that "al" is not being considered
for alphabetizing, but "Ibn" is.
