Notes
Documentation generated from the research activity carried out at the School of Arab Studies by the scientific staff and the research groups. It reflects the trajectory and impact of their work, financed with public funds. The majority corresponds to the period 1932-1983. 1. Departments/Sections/Research Groups. --- 2. Scientific staff. -- 3. Special collections. In 1932, the School of Arab Studies (EEA) was founded, dedicated to Arabic and Hebrew studies and to the dissemination of knowledge of Arab civilization. In the first stage, the management was linked to the University of Granada, through a board of trustees made up of five members. The organization of the center, both in its research and teaching aspects, was structured into four sections: Philology, Law and Islamic Institutions, Political and Cultural History, and Arabic Art and Archaeology, including Biblical Hebrew in the first, and History of the Jews in the third. The founding Law also established that the School of Arab Studies had the obligation to develop scientific research that had to do with the fields of study contemplated in those four sections. The results derived from them, together with those of the Madrid school, had to come to light through a specialized publication. This is how the prestigious magazine Al-Andalus was born, predecessor of the no less accredited Al-Qantara. After the break of the Civil War, which meant a decrease in the center's activity, it became dependent on the Higher Council for Scientific Research. One of the basic objectives of the new organization was to develop research through the centers that depended on it. To comply with this, the centers of the dissolved Board for the Extension of Studies were incorporated into the CSIC, as well as other institutes, including the Schools of Arab Studies of Madrid and Granada. Consequently, Grenadine began to pay primary attention to the field of research. The board of trustees that governed it was extinguished, some statutes and sections were changed, and teaching was practically left in the hands of the Faculty of Letters. The Schools of Arab Studies of Granada and Madrid first became part of the Arias Montano Institute of Arab and Hebrew Studies, but they soon jointly established a single institute, the so-called Miguel Asín, a name that the center of Madrid finally adopted for itself, so that, from then on, the term School of Arab Studies was reserved exclusively for the Granada headquarters. The life of the institute did not undergo significant changes during this new stage. Research work, although priority, coexisted with introductory Arabic classes until 1976. The sections, later called structural units, changed at times, and decreased or grew in number at other times. To give an example, those of Philology, History and Law were added, depending on the times, that of Hispano-Muslim Philosophy or that of Bibliography. In another order of things, the relationship with the University of Granada continued to be close; So much so that thanks to the fact that some of its professors remained linked to the institution, it managed to maintain its activity for decades. Starting in 1979, the CSIC began to provide the School with its own positions, both for scientific and auxiliary personnel. The so-called structural units survived for some time until, finally, they all ended up forming a single department, called Arab Studies. In accordance with the profile and interests of the new researchers, the center turned its gaze to al-Andalus, contemplating its eight centuries of existence from different perspectives and approaches, analyzing its history as well as its society, its art and its architecture, studying, for example, the evolution experienced by agronomic and medical sciences during the period in which the Iberian Peninsula was dominated by Muslims, the last years of the Nasrid kingdom, or the role played by the Moors. The School of Arab Studies has grown in the number of researchers and support staff. All members of the Institute belong to the same scientific body, as permanent staff, research fellows or contractors. Today, the fundamental objective of the School of Arab Studies is the study of the culture of al-Andalus and the Islamic world. Its only department has four research groups, all of them directed by researchers from the Institute: one that focuses on the study of natural sciences in Muslim Andalusia, another that is responsible for analyzing society in al-Andalus, a third called “Hispano-Muslim Architecture”, and, finally, the so-called “Medieval Islam, history, archeology and conservation of historical heritage”. The most representative lines of research of the Institute are the study of the history of al-Andalus, the editing and translation of Arabic texts, the analysis of Muslim and Moorish Granada, medieval archaeology, Arabic biographical literature, natural sciences in the Andalusian period, Arabic historiography, Islamic law, Islamic architecture and the conservation of historical heritage. The School of Arabic Studies maintains a very close relationship with other CSIC institutes, especially with Philology. His ties with the university are equally fluid. With Granada, in particular, it has collaborated for many years by providing scientific personnel to its doctoral courses and third cycle tribunals. Some researchers at the Institute belong to international organizations; Others participate in scientific projects financed by the Board of Trustees of the Alhambra and Generalife and the Board of Trustees of the Reales Alcázares of Seville, which makes the links with these institutions very solid. The presence of the center is also noticeable in a good number of town councils and other local institutions of ancient tradition; such is the case of the Center for Historical Studies of Granada and its Kingdom.
