Chronica Prophetica (883 - 900) Anonymous - History |
| Quotation |
Sarraceni peruerse se putant esse ex Sarra. Verius Agareni ab Agar et Ismaelitae ab Ismael. Origo autem eorum ita est: Abraham genuit Ismael ex Agar …Abdullah genuit Mahomet qui putatur a suis Prophetam esse… Mohomas genuit Almundar et Abdullah |
| Translation |
The Saracens perversely think themselves to be descended from Sarah. In truth, they are Agarenes from Hagar and Ishmaelites from Ishmael. This is their origin: Abraham bore Ishmael from Hagar… Abd Allah bore Muhammad who is thought by them to be a prophet…Muhammad ibn ar-Rahman bore al-Mundhir, and Abd Allah.
(emended from Baxter-Wolf, trans., “Chronica Prophetica”, 2008) |
| Summary |
Here the Chronica prophetica argues that the Saracens are not descended from Sarah, as they consider themselves to be, but rather are descended from Ishmael and Hagar. The brief introduction is then followed by a list of descendents and successors through the prophet Mohammed and ending with the two sons of Mohammed ibn ar-Rahman: Al-Mundhir and Abd Allah, who were the successive Emirs of Córdoba in the late eight and turn of ninth centuries. |
