Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada’s Historia Arabum was the first Latin chronicle 
to give an account of the history of al-Andalus from the fall of the 
Visigothic kingdom of Toledo in 711 to the fall of the Caliphate in 
1031. It was the last book of the great Historia de rebus Hispaniae that 
the archbishop completed just before he died in 1247.
In this work we present the first edition of a fourteenth-century 
Castilian translation of the Historia Arabum, the Estoria de los árabes. 
The edition has been realized using the only surviving complete copy of 
the work, contained in manuscripts 684 and 7801 of the Spanish National 
Library (BNE). The Castilian text has been compared to the original 
Latin text contained both in the 1999 edition by Fernández Valverde, and 
in the manuscript 1364 of the BNE —a fifteenth-century copy of the 
manuscript that supposedly was used by the original translator—. It has 
also been compared with the Castilian version of the Historia contained 
in Alfonso X’s Estoria de Espanna, and with other truncated translations 
that have also survived in manuscript.
The edition is preceded by an introductory study in which Rodrigo 
Jiménez de Rada’s life and work is presented and analyzed.
