This is the story of the long struggle between the Almohad caliphs of the Maghrib, the Banū Ghāniya of Majorca, and the Ayyubids for dominance of North Africa. The author makes use of important textual sources that have been ignored as well as new archaeological evidence to challenge some of the basic assumptions about the events in question. He also successfully places these events in their wider temporal and geographical context for the first time.Studies in the history and society of the Maghrib ;Volume 7.AlmohadesAfrica, NorthAlmoravidesAfrica, NorthAfrica, NorthHistory647-1517AlmohadesAlmoravides961/.022Baadj Amar Salem1534195MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797115203321Saladin, the Almohads and the Banu Ghaniya3781544UNINA
