Los marcos legales de la islamización: el procedimiento judicial entre cristianos arabizados y mozárabes

Abstract

This article deals with the study of changes in the Hispanic Canonic Collection, compiled in Arabic in a manuscript copied in the 11th Century, in order to adapt it to an environment where Islamic law was the rule. Lawsuit requirements were therefore different from the ones necessary during Visigothic times. The arrangement of the Collection included canons from other councils of the Church, not quoted in Latin versions. These show a series of social and legal developments that prove the increasing Arabization of Christians living in Islamic territories. At the same time, these canons make a difference with the transmission of the Collection in the Christian kingdoms of Northern Iberia.
