Abstract
The Musnad by the chronicler Muhammad Ibn Marzūq (d. 781/1379) is considered one of the richest and more personal Merinid sources, as it was devoted to extol the virtues of the emir Abū l-Hasan (731-749/1331-1348). The major value of this work resides in the wide variety of its content, which covers multiple facets of the Merinid kingdom. This article aims to tackle one of the less explored aspects of this source from a critical approach: the presence of women and the role played by them within the Maghribi society, according to the numerous feminine references offered throughout the Musnad, which will be both extracted and analyzed.Downloads
