%X There is very little manuscript evidence of the popular (non-courtly) literature
of al-Andalus. For this reason it is difficult to assess its importance for the
development of Castilian literature, and more broadly, for our understanding of medieval
Iberian literary practice as an interlocking set of systems that includes a number
of linguistic, religious, and political groups. Ziyad ibn ‘Amir al-Kinani (Granada, ca.
1250) and the 101 Nights (Granada, 1234) are two examples of Andalusi popular fiction
that provide important information for our understanding of works of early Castilian
fiction such as the Libro del Caballero Zifar. The two Andalusi works provide
evidence of a bilingual culture of storytelling that nourished both Arabic and Castilian
literary texts. In particular, the inclusion of Arthurian material in Ziyad that predates
the earliest translations of Arthurian texts into Castilian forces us to rethink both the
sources of Zifar as well as the Iberian adaptation of Arthurian material in general.
