Moriscos Lives by Themselves

Moriscos Lives by Themselves

Abstract

Cet article explore les dimensions religieuses, culturelles et autobiographiques des écrits des Mudéjars et des Morisques, avec un accent particulier sur les récits de pèlerinage et les témoignages personnels. Il examine comment ces textes, façonnés par les luttes collectives et la dévotion spirituelle des communautés islamiques de la péninsule ibérique, équilibrent les obligations communautaires avec de rares aperçus d'expression individuelle. À travers l'analyse approfondie d'oeuvres clés telles que le Niṣāb al-akhbār wataḏkirat al-akhyār d’Ibn Al-Ṣabbāḥ, le Memorial de ida y venida hasta Meca d’Omar Patón et les écrits du Mancebo de Arévalo, cette étude met en lumière la manière dont ces écrits témoignent de la résilience et de la préservation de l'identité. En replaçant ces textes dans leurs contextes historiques et socioculturels, l'article souligne leur importance à la fois en tant que documents religieux et réflexions personnelles, reliant la mémoire individuelle et collective des communautés morisques et mudéjares confrontées à l'adversité.

This paper explores the religious, cultural, and autobiographical dimensions of Mudejar and Morisco writings, with a particular focus on pilgrimage narratives and personal testimonies. It examines how these texts, shaped by the collective struggles and spiritual devotion of the Islamic communities in Iberia, balance communal obligations with rare glimpses of individual expression. Through detailed analyses of key works, such as Ibn Al-Ṣabbāḥ’s Niṣāb al-akhbār wa-taḏkirat al-akhyār, Omar Patón’s Memorial de ida y venida hasta Meca, and the writings of the Mancebo de Arévalo, the study highlights how these writings serve as enduring testimonies of resilience and identity preservation. By situating these texts within their historical and sociocultural contexts, the paper underscores their significance as both religious records and personal reflections, bridging the individual and collective memory of Morisco and Mudejar communities under adversity.

This work was written as a result of the Research Project "El Mediterraneo de la edad moderna (ss. XVI-XVIII) entre cristiandad e islam: imagenes, espacios y cotidianeidad" (CIAICO/2023/266), given by the Consellería de Cultura, Educación, Universidades y Empleo (Generalitat Valenciana).
