Abstract

This paper is a new review of Wallāda’s biography, after Ibn Bassām’s Dakhira. Starting with the analysis of the structure of her biography and her biographer’s doubts about the data’s reliability, I proceed to compare Ibm Bassām’ article on the umayyade princess with other Arabic sources, anthologies and biographical dictionaries: namely, Jāqān, Ibn Baškuwāl, Ibn Dihya, Ibn Šākir al-Kutubi, al-Suyuti, al-Maqqari.
