in particular has not been available; that register is one more example of how the founders of

Arabic studies in Spain knew how to design a plan of action suited to their purposes.
The bibliographical dictionaries consulted have been those of Ibn al-Ṭallāᶜ, Ibn ᶜAṭiyya,
ᶜIyāḍ, Ibn Khayr, Ibn al-Barrāq, al-Ruᶜaynī, Ibn Abī l-Rabīᶜ, al-Lablī, al-Ghubrīnī, al-Tujībī, al-
Wādī Āshī, al-Mujarī, Ibn Ghāzī, al-Balawī al-Wādī Āshī, Aḥmad al-Manjūr, Ḥajjī Khalīfa, ᶜAbd
al-Qādir al-Fāsī and al-Rawdānī, together with Ibn al-ᶜAbbār’s Muᶜjam and the riḥla-s of al-

41
ᶜAbdarī, Ibn Rushayd, al-Tujībī, al-Qanṭūrī, Ibn Khaldūn and al-Qalaṣādī. The riḥla-s of Abū
Ḥāmid al-Gharnāṭī, Ibn Jubayr and Ibn Baṭṭūṭa contain little bibliographical information. We
have of course consulted al-Kattānī’s work on fahāris composed in the Islamic world. On fahāris
literature in al-Andalus we have the excellent studies by A. al-Ahwānī and J. M. Fórneas, among
others. We have also relied on monographic studies about some of these bibliographical
dictionaries, such as those by J. M. Fórneas (Ibn ᶜAṭiyya, al-Wādī Āshī), P. Chalmeta (Ibn Abī l-
Rabīᶜ), A. Ramos (al-Tujībī), M. J. Hermosilla (ᶜIyāḍ), M. Fierro (Ibn al-Ṭallāᶜ) and J. M.
Vizcaíno (Ibn Khayr, Ibn al-Barrāq).
Three doctoral dissertations, by J. M. Fórneas on Ibn ᶜAṭiyya, A. Ramos on al-Tujībī, and
M. J. Hermosilla on ᶜIyāḍ, had not been published in their entirety. All three authors placed them
at the disposal of the HATA team so that their data could be included, but the original Arabic
texts by Ibn ᶜAṭiyya, al-Tujībī and ᶜIyāḍ were consulted directly in each case. Since Hermosilla’s
dissertation did not comprise a complete analysis of ᶜIyāḍ’s riwāya-s, J. M. Vizcaíno and M.
Fierro undertook it. For the Fahrasa of Ibn Khayr, we have relied on the work of J. M. Vizcaíno,
which includes information on parallel riwāya-s contained in other bibliographical collections. J.
M. Vizcaíno’s excellent work was completed by M. Fierro, with extraction of data from the
works of al-Ruᶜaynī, Ibn Abī l-Rabīᶜ, al-Lablī, al-Ghubrīnī, Ibn Rushayd, al-Tujībī (Mustafād),
al-Qanṭūrī, Ibn Khaldūn, al-Mujarī, al-Qalaṣādī, Ibn Ghāzī, al-Balawī al-Wādī Āshī, Aḥmad al-
