The words sunna, daʿwā, ṣāliḥ, ʿaql, among others, besides their specific Christian vocabulary, are object of this research. This study gives us a picture of intercultural relations and topics debated in relation to Islam.
The study of these two theological works shed light on historical facts and conditions of Islamic civilization and Christian communities living under Islam. The question of the literary sources and socio-historical reasons for the difference or similarities in the kind of argumentations, vocabulary and style used, will be posed, in order to know more on Christian-Muslim relations and apologetics.

The documents were written on papyrus, parchment or paper and encompass the period between the 7th century and the 16th century AD.1
The APD contains 4,074 documents with full text, while only metadata is given of the rest of the 8,646 documents.
The focus of the research in this paper is the contract of sale, whose number reaches 1,407 documents in the APD (full Text and Metadata), out of which 240 documents are with full text. Thus, the research is based on the number of texts with full Text in the APD. In addition, I am in the process of editing a number of Toledo2 documents, which still are not incorporated in the APD. Since we have access to the whole collection of Toledo documents, I have made use of them in writing this article.
Aram 32:1&2, 2020

Abū Qurra defends the practice of the veneration of icons while at the same time defending the living tradition of the Church, Sunna, as source of revelation. Abū Qurra`s concept of Sunna mirrors the debate on wisdom and religious law of his time. For Abū Qurra wisdom is anchored in the experience of the community and saintly lives. Meanwhile, he speaks of Sunna within a context of the formation of Islamic law, fiqh, sponsored by the ʿAbbāsid rulers, during the period which saw the transformation of ḥadīṯs from an oral tradition into a written one. By defending the value of the living tradition as source of revelation, Sunna, Abū Qurra defends the value of the person. Sunna, a word with many meanings, but used in the 9 th century to denote both revelation and law of an oral character, could be a word that helps us to deepen the understanding of revelation among the religions in a time when written culture leads us to be unable to see beyond the idea of revelation as written revelation.

When studying the question of “blasphemy law” in relation to the classical sources, the question of how modern terminology of Islamic law corresponds to the original classical sources will also be examined. Some examples and sources of misunderstanding of classical legal concepts are presented in this introduction in order to shed light on the problem of “translating” legal categories of classical Islamic Law.

Se le denomina al-Yayyiini y al-Qurtubi por ser Jaén su lugar de origen y Córdoba la capital de mayor incidencia en su vida, tanto en su formación como en desarrollo de su actividad jurídica. Hasta tal punto es así, que todos sus biógrafos, tras hacer mención de su origen jien-nense, nos indican que vivió en Córdoba, por lo que es más conocido con el apelativo al-Qurtubi, apelativo que va unido al cargo de cadí que desempeñó en dicha ciudad. Su ascendencia es de rancio linaje árabe, los Banu Asad 4, origina-rios de Arabia del Norte, que entraron en AI-Andalus en los primeros años de la conquista, asentándose en la cora de Elvira, de Jaén y de Toledo. 1 Una biografía amplia está siendo objeto de un próximo artículo, pues fue elaborada con motivo de la Memoria de Licenciatura. 2 Principalmente en: lbn Ba §kuwal: al-$ilil, pp. 430-1, núm. 939.
