Commentary

L’interdiction de la représentation de l’homme et des animaux valorise grandement l’écriture, d’autant plus que le Coran dit explicitement que l’art d’écrire est d’essence divine (sourate 96, verset 4). Les inscriptions ont donc à la fois une fonction de prosélytisme religieux et un rôle esthétique.

Historical background

AL-ANDALOUS - AL-HAKAM II

(915-976)

Calif

He was born on January 13, 915 in Cordoba. It was under his reign that the caliphate reached its peak. A great scholar, he succeeded his father, Abd Al-Rahman III, on October 15, 961. He worked to continue the policy of emancipation from Baghdad and to develop Cordoba to make it one of the most important cities in Europe. He carries out the most beautiful and important extension of the Mosque of Cordoba and completes the construction of the Medina al-Zahara. He died on October 1, 976, leaving a flourishing economy and a peaceful caliphate..
