¹ Named after the Andalusian sage Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-ʿArabi (1165–1240), whose tomb in Damascus is a pilgrimage site (mazār) for Sufis and scholars alike.

² In this context, gharbī refers to Europe and North America, and not the west of the Arab world, or the Maghrib.

³ The psaltery or salterio is, like the qānūn, a type of zither, and in fact Olavide is a skilled performer on the qānūn as well as an accomplished vocalist schooled in the performance of Early Music.

²⁶ Research for this article was conducted in Syria prior to the outbreak of conflict in March 2011. As I write, Syrians have been suffering traumatic changes for over four years that bear on how history is (and will be) constructed and memorialized; one might suspect a transition from a modern to a presentist regime of historicity, and a concomitant recasting of the memory culture to restorative nostalgias based in commemorations and memorializations rather than monuments.

²⁸ Al-Andalus (or Andalusia) refers to those areas of the Iberian Peninsula that came under Muslim rule beginning in the early 8th century and, in the aftermath of the Christian reconquest (Reconquista), ending with the fall of the Kingdom of Granada in 1492 and the subsequent expulsions of Muslims and Jews as late as 1610. Al-Andalus refers to a fluid geographical, historical, political, and cultural cartography rather than to a fixed place or time.

⁴² Drawing on a long literary tradition of lament dating back to the medieval city elegies (rithāʾ al-mudun) and early modern works such as the 17th-century al-Maqqari's Nafh al-Tib, Arab and Muslim writers in the first half of the century deployed the idea of an Andalusian lost paradise as a spur toward national revival in the shadows of colonialism. The confluence of colonialism and access to Andalusian sites through travel provided the context for this renewed interest in the Andalusian past. In many ways it produced the very notion of “Andalusian” music.

⁴⁷ The visits to the Andalusian cities inspired her to write ʿAynan min Ishbiliya (Two Eyes from Seville) (Beirut: n.p., 1999 [1960]). Al-Kuzbari hailed from a prominent Damascene family; her father, Lutfi al-Haffar, was Syrian prime minister during the French Mandate, and her second husband, Nadir al-Kuzbari, was a Syrian diplomat who served as ambassador to Spain in the 1960s. Little has been written on the literary legacy of al-Haffar Kuzbari.

⁵³ Recent references to al-Andalus in Syrian literature and popular culture include Nabil Sulayman's novel Fi Ghiyabihi (In Her Absence) (Damascus: Dar al-Hiwar, 2003), which describes a trip to al-Andalus, and Walid Sayf and Hatim ʿAli's Andalusian-themed trilogy of Ramadan television series from 2002 to 2005, “Saqr Quraysh,” “Rabiʿ Qurtuba,” and “Muluk al-Tawaʾif,” as well as numerous television and print advertisements.

⁵⁴ In the post-1967 war era one notes a decidedly political tenor to much of Qabbani's work, reflecting a general critical air in much scholarly writing of the time. This is evident not only in his works on Damascus, with their nostalgic remembrances, but also in his decidedly political poems, such as Hawamish ʿala Daftar al-Naksa (Margins of the Notebook of the Setback). See Qabbani, Nizar, al-Aʿmal al-Siyasiyya al-Kamila (The Complete Political Works), vol. 3, 2nd ed. (Beirut: Manshurat Nizar Qabbani, 1973), 69–98Google Scholar.

⁶¹ The director of the Archaeological Society Dr. Muhammad Qujjah noted that there were Andalusian families who came to the Levant, but that they were absorbed (indamajū) into Aleppine society and for the most part lost their Andalusian appellations. For that reason one does not find in Syria such names as “al-Ishbili” (The Sevillian) or “al-Qurtubi” (The Córdoban). Because the whole region of North Africa and al-Andalus was referred to as al-maghrib al-aqsā (the Farthest West), when Andalusians came to the Levant they were often referred to as “Maghribi,” and in fact one finds Aleppine families with the appellation “Maghribi,” “Maghribiyya,” and “Maghariba.” Other Andalusian family names found in Syria include al-ʿAbadi, al-Maliki (after the school of legal jurisprudence dominant in Morocco), and al-Kattani (a well-known Fassi name).
