Extract
This volume is the product of a great deal of work undertaken by many people. Thanks to a generous two-year research grant from the Leverhulme Trust from 2010 to 2012, I was able to recruit a postdoctoral researcher, James Brown, with whom I had the pleasure of researching the ways in which the Banū Marīn legitimized themselves. Owing to the financial support of the Leverhulme Trust and the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge, we were also able to organize a thoughtprovoking workshop on political legitimacy in the medieval Islamic west at Magdalene College, Cambridge in September 2011. The presentations at that workshop were both engaging and intriguing and they formed the basis for the chapters gathered here. I am therefore grateful to all those who attended the workshop and who agreed to contribute to this volume.
I also owe a debt of thanks to Michael Brett who has supported this project in many ways, not least by sharing his insights and suggesting ways in which I could improve my own contributions. I am also grateful to Mercedes Garcia Arenal, Maribel Fierro and the many other Arabists at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas for their insights which they always generously share when I am in Madrid. Finally, I would like to thank the British Academy for agreeing to publish this volume and Brigid Hamilton, Janet English and Carol Fellingham Webb for their sterling work on the editorial side.
