Una primera aproximaci?n a la tradici?n m?gica de las grutas magreb?es a trav?s de al-Bakri y al-Idrisi

Abstract

La tradici?n magreb? del culto a las grutas se remonta a la ?poca pre-isl?mica. La llegada del islam al norte de ?frica supone la incorporaci?n y transferencia de algunos de estos ritos a la tradici?n musulmana. Este tipo de ceremonias en grutas y cavernas encontradas en la tradici?n bereber (Bacax e Ifru), se pueden localizar tambi?n en la religi?n jud?a (Sefrou).La historiograf?a contempor?nea (Doutt?, Westermarck o Basset) ha elaborado una perspectiva general de la situaci?n en la que se encuentran los rituales en el Norte de ?frica en torno al s. xx. De estas obras cabe se?alar la escasa atenci?n a las ceremonias y rituales celebrados en cuevas. En cambio, s? destacan ciertas caracter?sticas de los mismos y clasifican las grutas y cavernas seg?n el uso que le daba la poblaci?n.Esta contextualizaci?n, realizada a partir de las obras m?s modernas permite analizar a trav?s de los relatos de los ge?grafos ?rabes medievales, algunas leyendas y rituales relacionados con el culto en grutas.En esta primera aproximaci?n a la cuesti?n, se pueden resaltar varios aspectos. Estos van desde el l?xico utilizado para denominar estas cuevas, adem?s del tipo de animales y criaturas que habitan en ellas.

The Maghrebi tradition of cave worship dates back to pre-Islamic times. The arrival of Islam in North Africa involves the incorporation and transfer of some of these rites to the Muslim tradition. This type of ceremonies in caves and caverns found in the Berber tradition (Bacax and Ifru) can also be found in the Jewish religion (Sefrou).Contemporary historiography (Doutt?, Westermarck or Basset) has produced an overview of the situation about the rituals found in North Africa around the 20th century. Related to these works it is important to emphasize on the lack of attention to the ceremonies and rituals celebrated in caves. On the other hand, they highlight certain characteristics of these rituals and classify the caves and caverns according to the use that the population gave it.This contextualization, made from the most modern works, allows us to analyze through the stories of the medieval Arab geographers, some legends and rituals related to the cult in caves.In this first approach to the question, several aspects can be highlighted. These range from the lexicon used to name these caves, in addition to the type of animals and creatures that inhabit them.
