Talk:Sara al-Qutiyya

Ibn al-Qutiyya
Lajmmoore, El Día de Córdoba says (via Google translate) "Popular memory and family tradition inspire the story of Sara La Goda, a character known thanks to him [Ibn al-Qutiyya]." Should the biography section of Sara al-Qutiyya start, or possibly end, by saying that her life is known from the work of Ibn al-Qutiyya? The other language versions (via Google translate) seem to mention Ibn al-Qutiyya as the source of her biography. TSventon (talk) 14:30, 16 May 2022 (UTC)


 * @TSventon thanks! So I'd put that in the Legacy section, but would be happy to see it move, please feel free to make changes! I was using google translate too, and I'm not clear as to whether he is the only source for her life, or if there where others? (which is why I was a bit non-committal on that) Lajmmoore (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC)


 * @Lajmmoore, thanks again for your help elsewhere, I have now done some research and added two sources of the story referenced to Christians in Al-Andalus 711-1000 to the historiography section. Also that Roger Collins regards Sara as a "mythical ancestor". Let me know if you disagree with anything. TSventon (talk) 21:28, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That's great - I hadn't come across the Collins reference before Lajmmoore (talk) 06:57, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
