I graduated in 2008 in Arabic Philology with English as a second language and in 2014 I received and European Ph.D. from the Universidad Complutense (UCM) with the highest grade (Sobresaliente cum laude) in the 'Arabic and Andalusi studies' program, with a thesis on the Islamic legal doctrine on usury supervised by Maribel Fierro (CSIC) and Juan Martos (UCM).
Since then, I have contributed to three research projects, two of them funded by Advanced grants of the European Research Council, and one of them by the CSIC. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher "Juan de la Cierva-incorporación" at the Institute of Languages and Cultures of the Mediterranean CSIC (ILC).
My international profile is shown in my academic positions and research stays, publications, invitations to conferences, collaborative networks, and service to the profession. As a Ph.D. candidate, I performed two short stays in Harvard (2 months) and Exeter (3 months), and I spent 47 months working as a 'research associate' at the University of Copenhagen (2015-2018). I have contributions in English and Spanish: two books as a single author published by Academia Scientiarum Fennica (University of Helsinki) and the editorial CSIC, and two more forthcoming that will be published by Brill; refereed articles in Journal of Qur'anic Studies, Islamic Africa, Aethiopica: International Journal of Ethiopian and Eritrean Studies, Annual Review of Islam in Africa and Miscelánea de Estudios Árabes y Hebraicos-sección árabe; several contributions to collective volumes, one of them published by Brepols and two more forthcoming that will be published by De Gruyter and Brill; two contributions in co-authorship to Biblioteca de al-Andalus, apart from a conference report, several book reviews, etc.
I have presented my academic results at international conferences and invited talks in Evanston (IL), Copenhagen, Hamburg, Paris, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Vélez Málaga, Zaragoza, etc. and I have established collaboration networks with scholars from foreign institutions in Louvain, Naples, and Hamburg, etc.
I have been awarded several prizes and scholarships and I have been asked to participate in evaluation committees (article reviews and thesis committees) and the organization of R&D and dissemination activities in Madrid, Copenhagen, and Hamburg.
I am the deputy director of the Journal Hesperia: Culturas del Mediterráneo and a member of the Editorial Committee of the journal Les Chroniques du manuscrit au Yémen. edit

The publication in 2003 of the fascicle 3A of the series Arabic Literature in Africa without any doubt marked a major turning point in the history of the research on the Arabic-Islamic literary production of the Muslims of the Horn of Africa and more generally in the study of the Islamic culture in that region.
That comparatively thin book (174 pages in front of the 434 pages of ALA1, the 732 pages of ALA2 and the 814 pages of ALA4) had the invaluable merit of eventually bring the literature produced in Arabic by the Muslims of the Horn of Africa to the attention of the scholars of Arabic and Islamic studies.
Since 2003, the knowledge the Islamic culture and history in the Horn of Africa has been enhanced thanks to the efforts of some scholars both in the West and in Africa . In particular, in the field of the literary production of the Muslims of the region, one of the most relevant developments was probably the carrying out of the research project “Islam in the Horn of Africa: A Comparative Literary Approach”. It is on the basis these achievements and thanks to them that the possibility could be envisaged to take up the difficult challenge of revising and updating the fascicle 3A of ALA to include the fresh information which has become known during the five years of research conducted by the IslHornAfr team. This is not to say that the main aim of the present edition is to simply disseminate the results of the project. The editors (Alessandro Gori, Adday Hernández and Irmeli Perho) and the contributors (Sara Fani, Alessandro Gori, Adday Hernández, John M. Larsen, Irmeli Perho and Michele Petrone) wish to follow the path opened by ALA 3A in 2003 and try to provide the scholars with a full-fledged reference work and sound guide in the field of the Arabic-Islamic literature of the Muslim communities of the Horn of Africa.

En los últimos tiempos la edición y el estudio de nuevas obras y documentos han supuesto una importante contribución a la historia de la jurisprudencia musulmana (fiqh) en el Occidente islámico medieval, y un ejemplo de ello es el recientemente editado Kitāb al-ribā, objeto de este estudio en el cual ofrezco la traducción al castellano de esta temprana y -hasta ahora- desconocida obra del fiqh mālikí. La aparición de este texto, que hasta ahora no era más que una mención en los diccionarios bibliográficos, supone una valiosa fuente de información, no sólo para el estudio del derecho económico medieval, sino también del proceso de formación y desarrollo de la jurisprudencia andalusí así como del funcionamiento del zoco y la sociedad andalusí de época temprana, puesto que sirvió de base jurídica para aplicaciones prácticas de la ley islámica como demuestran, por ejemplo, las continuas alusiones del almotacén Ibn ʿAbd al-Raʾūf al Kitāb al-ribā en su tratado de ḥisba.

Esta monografía trata distintos aspectos legales, históricos y sociales sobre la usura (ribā) en un ámbito geográfico y cronológico concreto, el Occidente islámico premoderno y en especial en al-Andalus, con el fin de contribuir al estudio de la economía en las sociedades islámicas medievales. El interés por el tema no es ajeno a la fuerza con la que lo relacionado con la usura ha reaparecido en la actualidad desde la irrupción de la crisis económica y con el crecimiento de las finanzas islámicas, cuya base principal es la prohibición de los intereses. Si bien el interés principal de este trabajo se centra en la doctrina jurídica, se analiza también la relación entre las normas jurídicas vinculadas a la prohibición de la usura y las prácticas económicas que se pueden detectar en la sociedad con el propósito de determinar qué transacciones eran consideradas susceptibles de usura y qué estratagemas se usaban para eludir la prohibición del ribā.

Although Muslims in Ethiopia are a large part of the total population, nevertheless, their literary tradition and their cultural heritage have, until the present, hardly been studied by the academic community. The present article aims to shed light on the Islamic manuscript tradition in Ethiopia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by focus-ing on several codices owned by al-Šayḫ Ḥabīb, a renowned scholar and respected walī from Wällo, in north-eastern Ethiopia.

La presente contribución es un resumen acerca del tipo de debates jurídicos sobre economía, y en particular sobre la prohibición islámica de los intereses (riba) que han tenido lugar en el marco del derecho islámico a lo largo de la historia, desde época medieval hasta el presente, en que dichas discusiones continúan en relación al desarrollo de la banca islámica, especialmente respecto a determinadas transacciones cuya licitud ya era discutida por los juristas musulmanes siglos atrás. Los distintos métodos que se han venido utilizando para tratar de suavizar la prohibición del riba serán analizados con el fin de ofrecer una imagen fidedigna de la flexibilidad y capacidad de adaptación que caracterizan al derecho islámico.

Starting in the twelfth century, usury became one of the immoral activities attributed to the Jews in Christian anti-Jewish propaganda. Jews became so commonly associated with usury in the Latin-Christian world that the word “Jew” itself became a synonym for “usurer”, mainly in the texts of the Christian exegetes. While this trope spread over space and time, it does not seem to have existed in al-Andalus.
In Islamic texts, while some examples associate ribā (usury) with Jews, it is equally attributed to Christians. Moreover, the practice of usury does not seem to have been used as an argument against the Jews in Muslim polemical literature. This paper focuses on the Andalusi context, showing how the trope of the Jewish usurer did not take root in Muslim Iberia as it did among the Christians of the Peninsula. Of special interest are developments that took place in the Naṣrid kingdom, where several legal opinions (fatāwā) issued between the eighth/fourteenth and the ninth/fifteenth centuries reveal a concern among the population about loans at interest issued by Jews. The Naṣrid jurists, however, appear to have tolerated these interfaith activities.

ʻAbd al-Malik b. Ḥabīb (m. 238/852) fue uno de los primeros expertos andalusíes en derecho islámico, y sus obras guiaban a los nuevos musulmanes que se habían ido convirtiendo a lo largo de los siglos III/IX y IV/X para que actuasen conforme a las normas de la jurisprudencia islámica. Su opúsculo sobre la usura (ribā) fue empleado para regular las actividades que se llevaban a cabo en el zoco en época califal, como demuestran las alusiones a Ibn Ḥabīb en el tratado de ḥisba del almotacén Aḥmad b. ʻAbd al-Ra’ūf. Respecto al cambio (ṣarf), por ejemplo, que se considera una actividad susceptible de usura, Ibn ʻAbd al-Ra’ūf remite a Ibn Ḥabīb, pero añade que dicha actividad no debe permitirse a los no-musulmanes (ḏimmíes), ¿A qué responde dicha restricción? En la presente contribución trataré de dar respuesta a esta pregunta a través del análisis de ambos textos.

La noción islámica clásica del ŷihād entendida en términos de guerra implicaba, según la mayor parte de los juristas musulmanes, la obligación de ofrecer un acuerdo de rendición antes de realizar una ofensiva armada en un territorio. Dicha rendición podía implicar la conversión al islam, que sólo en el caso de los no-monoteístas podía ser forzada por los conquistadores musulmanes, o simplemente la sumisión a la autoridad islámica mediante pactos de capitulación. Esta última forma de proceder se llevó a cabo de forma paralela a la conquista mediante las armas durante la expansión islámica, y las evidencias arqueológicas y documentales indican que ambas formas de conquista también se combinaron en la toma de Hispania por los musulmanes. Los lazos de clientela, por su parte, constituyeron una estrategia política de gran utilidad para integrar a una parte de la población conquistada y también para fortalecer a determinados grupos de musulmanes frente a otros. En el presente artículo se analizará la forma en que ambos tipos de relación tuvieron lugar entre súbditos y gobernantes durante la época de la conquista de la Península Ibérica y el establecimiento del emirato omeya

El presente artículo es un análisis de la manera en que el poema sobre hadiz escrito por Ibn Farḥ llegó a ser conocido por los ulemas etíopes de época moderna (principios del siglo XIX en este caso concreto), cuya tradición textual –producida en árabe– únicamente ha empezado a estudiarse recientemente.

Muslims in Ethiopia constitute a considerable part of the total population, but until few years ago, their literary tradition and cultural heritage have remained understudied. The present article aims to shed light on the field of Islamic literature in Ethiopia in the late Nineteenth and early Tewntieth century through the study of the manuscripts owned by Shaykh Ḥabīb, a renowned scholar and respected walī who lived in Wallo, in northeastern Ethiopia. The presence of Andalusi Sufi poems among the text gathered by this scholar will be analyzed so far.

Arabic letters—as a physical manifestation of the “chosen language” of the qurʾanic revelation—have been employed for the creation of magical amulets in different Muslim communities. Islam is impregnated with esotericism in Ethiopia and the analysis of the magical texts in two collections of Ethiopian Islamic manuscripts reveals a fully Islamic tradition of esoteric beliefs, amulet-making, divination, etc. The use of magic within such a religious context led to the development of rituals in which the written word acts as a physical element harboring supernatural powers and that is the case in protection amulets against evils of different natures, which can be examined in order to learn more about these societies. In this paper I intend to test the validity of the magic-related material found in the corpus as a source of information about local peculiarities and the Ajamization of Islamic esotericism.

In this paper I aim to offer a review on the extant studies dealing with qiraʾāt (Qurʾanic readings) and tafsīr in al-Andalus, and fill the gap of certain aspects of the research on Qurʾanic exegesis. From the last decade, Humanities research is immersed in the use of new technologies and different types of electronic resources have been recently created within the field of Islamic studies. As a result, we have at our disposal new tools that allow us managing a larger amount of data and use different methodologies.
The pilgrimage and studies trip has always been the main connection between al-Andalus and the Islamic East and after it, some Andalusī scholars settled in the East. As it will be shown, this medieval link still has consequences in the current Islamic society, since it propitiated that their works were preserved and, thus, renowned in the contemporary Islamic world. Therefore, not only the most famous tafāsir titles and authors within the Andalusī literary tradition will be examined in this contribution, but also the Andalusī works spread in the East and vice versa.

This contribution constitutes my first approach to the material that has been gathered to date within the research project “Islam in the Horn of Africa: A Comparative Literary Approach” in which I am currently engaged. The analysis of the manuscripts comprising the corpus has put several traces of the Andalusī literary tradition into view. This cultural contact between al-Andalus and the Horn of Africa is not fortuitous, and my aim is to determine how and why these Andalusī authors and works appear in the Muslim manuscripts produced in this region.

The present edited volume offers a collection of new concepts and approaches to the study of mobility in pre-modern Islamic societies. It includes nine remarkable case studies from different parts of the Islamic world that examine the professional mobility within the literati and, especially, the social-cum-cultural group of Muslim scholars (ʿulamāʾ) between the eighth and the eighteenth centuries. Based on individual case studies and quantitative mining of biographical dictionaries and other primary sources from Islamic Iberia, North and West Africa, Umayyad Damascus and the Hejaz, Abbasid Baghdad, Ayyubid and Mamluk Syria and Egypt, various parts of the Seljuq Empire, and Hotakid Iran, this edited volume presents professional mobility as a defining characteristic of pre-modern Islamic societies.

Este curso está dirigido a licenciados, estudiantes de master y posgrado que tengan un interés específico en las relaciones interreligiosas en la Península Ibérica durante el periodo medieval, tanto en al-Andalus, como en los reinos cristianos del Norte. En la línea interdisciplinar en la que viene trabajando la Plataforma de Investigación Medhis (http://proyectos.cchs.csic.es/medhis/content/wh at-medhis) el presente curso pretende profundizar en el estudio de las relaciones entre las tres religiones monoteístas que cohabitaban la Península Ibérica durante el medievo. El curso constará de diez sesiones enfocadas a través del análisis de diversos tipos de fuentes, tanto escritas como materiales, en las que se presentarán, no solo las percepciones que las fuentes escritas muestran sobre las comunidades religiosas minoritarias, sino también las normas a las que estaba previsto que se atuvieran y las prácticas reales que se dieron más allá de dichas normas, que ilustran de forma más clara los procesos de intercambio, rechazo, pero también asimilación de la cultura del "otro". Lo que nos interesa es mostrar la variedad tanto de situaciones históricas como de enfoques de investigación con objeto de que los estudiantes obtengan una información actualizada sobre las diversas realidades del pasado y las perspectivas actuales. Matrícula gratuita. Inscripciones en: http://cchs.csic.es/es/curso_iberiamedieval Valoración del curso: 25 horas De las cuales 15 teóricas y 10 prácticas (Correspondientes a la elaboración de un ensayo) El curso tendrá lugar de forma exclusivamente online. La información para conectarse a la reunión de Zoom Se proporcionará unos días antes de la celebración del curso.

La terminología, y una terminología precisa y bien fundamentada conceptualmente, es la herramienta básica para el quehacer del historiador. De la documentación, escrita o iconográfica, nacen los términos, y también los conceptos que subyacen en ellos. Comprender adecuadamente su significado, hacer su seguimiento historiográfico y analizar sus contextos de aplicación, constituye la clave que permite construir un discurso coherente sobre las fuentes de estudio. El presente curso, enfocado desde una perspectiva histórico-cultural e interdisciplinar, está destina-do precisamente a ello: ofrecer a nuestros estudiantes instrumentos adecuados y bagaje metodológico preciso para comprender y elaborar la historia. El curso está con-cebido como un conjunto de seminarios teórico-prácticos a cargo de dos profesores cada uno, en los que se analicen los contenidos desde la doble perspectiva, islámica y cris-tiana, que integra la realidad de nuestra historia medieval peninsular. Queremos imprimir un fuerte contenido prác-tica a cada sesión que incentive la participación activa de los asistentes en forma de debate. Se incluye una mesa redonda a cargo de tres profesores y una visita guiada al Madrid medieval. 1 crédito ECTS Precio (matrícula sin almuerzo): 64 € Los estudiantes universitarios no asalariados y los licenciados desempleados podrán solicitar beca.

Las jornadas "MediterráneoS", organizadas por investigadoras e investigadores predoctorales y postdoctorales pertenecientes al Instituto de Lenguas y Culturas del Mediterráneo y Oriente Próximo (ILC, CCHS-CSIC), llegan a su cuarta edición, cuya celebración está prevista para los días 14 a 16 de octubre de 2020. Nuestro Instituto reúne campos de estudio muy diversos que aglutinan proyectos dedicados a diferentes lenguas y culturas del Mediterráneo como marco histórico, social y geográfico, atendiendo a sus orígenes e influencias grecolatinas, judías, árabes y de Oriente Próximo, incluyendo el Antiguo Oriente Próximo. El objetivo de "MediterráneoS 2020" es el de plantear un espacio de debate multidisciplinar en el que las y los jóvenes investigadores/as dedicados al estudio de las culturas representadas en nuestro Instituto presenten sus temas de investigación en relación a la transferencia de conocimiento, tanto en el espacio como en el tiempo, y en sus diversos aspectos: desde el estudio de sistemas educativos hasta la propia transmisión de ideas, textos, técnicas artísticas o metodologías de trabajo, utensilios, leyendas, ceremonias, etc. Serán especialmente apreciados los trabajos en los que el Mediterráneo se perfile como espacio de contacto e intercambio entre pueblos y culturas. Invitamos a las y los jóvenes investigadores (doctorandos/as o doctores/as en el inicio de su formación científica) en cualquier disciplina incluida en el ámbito de las Humanidades y las Ciencias Sociales a participar en estas jornadas mediante la presentación de comunicaciones. Las presentaciones tendrán una duración máxima de 20 minutos y podrán ser expuestas en español, inglés o francés. Desde la organización de MediterráneoS contamos con financiación para ofrecer ayudas de viaje a aquellas personas que lo necesiten (un máximo de 100€ por viaje). Las propuestas (que pueden ser planteadas en distintos formatos, como ponencias, talleres, pósteres, etc.) deberán contener entre 300 y 500 palabras e incluir un conjunto de palabras clave.

Call for papers. MediterráneoS 2020 The fourth edition of the "MediterráneoS" international conference, organized by predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers belonging to the Institute of Languages and Cultures of the Mediterranean and the Middle East (ILC, CCHS-CSIC), will take place in October 2020, 14th to 16th. Our Institute brings together very diverse fields related to different languages and cultures of the Mediterranean, considering the Mediterranean as a social, historical and geographical ensemble and attending to its Greco-Roman, Jewish, Arab and Near Eastern (including the Ancient Near East) origins and influences. The objective of "MediterráneoS 2020" is to propose a multidisciplinary space of debate in which young researchers dedicated to the study of the different cultures represented in our Institute present their research works in relation to the transfer of knowledge, either in time and space, and from any perspective and methodology: from the study of educational systems to the transmission of ideas, texts, artistic techniques or work methodologies, utensils, legends, ceremonies, etc. Presentations in which the Mediterranean is outlined as a space of contact and exchange between peoples and cultures will be especially appreciated.We invite young researchers (PhD students or postdocs at the beginning of their scientific training) in any discipline included in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences to participate in these conferences by presenting communications. The talks will have a maximum duration of 20 minutes and may be presented in Spanish, English or French.MediterráneoS has funding for some travel grants for those people who might need it (within a maximum of 100€). Proposals (which can be presented in different formats, such as presentations, workshops, posters, etc.) may be sent until March 30, 2020 (briefly indicating in the subject the subject treated in the proposal) to the following email: jornadas_mediterraneos@cchs.csic.es.

While the word ʿAjamī traditionally refers to texts in many languages written with the modified Arabic script, the meaning has been expanded in the concept of ʿAjamization used in this volume. ʿAjamization is construed in this article, as it is operationalized in the volume, to refer to the various tangible and subtle enrichments of Islam, its culture, and its written and artistic traditions in Africa. 1 In this sense, it is not only the modification (enrichment) of the Arabic script that defines ʿAjamization, but also other features such as the content and the aesthetics of the texts. This paper focuses on the cultural dimension of ʿAjamization in two collections of Ethiopian Islamic texts written in Arabic. 2 These texts encompass magic-related materials, including theurgic texts and invocations to jinn. 3 I will examine these texts to ascertain whether they reflect a local cosmology, even if they are not written in ʿAjamī but in Arabic. 4

El debate sobre los intereses y la usura ha estado presente en muchas sociedades, aunque en las sociedades islamicas el cobro de intereses nunca ha gozado de la aceptacion de que disfruta en Occidente. Actualmente la crisis financiera ha provocado que la antigua discusion sobre la usura este otra vez en primera linea. Cuando hablo de la usura en ambito islamico, me estoy refiriendo al riba, un termino arabe que significa incremento. Aunque usura y riba no sean exactamente sinonimas, si describen conceptos analogos, significando cosas diferentes segun el contexto. Este es un trabajo monografico sobre la usura en ambito islamico y en el tratare sus distintos aspectos legales, historicos y sociales. Esta estructurado en cuatro secciones, las tres primeras de las cuales estan dedicadas al estudio de la usura en epoca premoderna, centrando la atencion en al-Andalus. Cada una de ellas corresponde a un nivel de derecho islamico de los propuestos por Schacht , teoria, contratos y practica. ...
