Özet: During the Islamic rule in al-Andalus between the 8-15th centuries, a rich historiographical literature had emerged by means of works such as world history, regional history, urban history, bio-bibliographic dictionaries, fahrasas, literature biographies and geography books that were inseparable from historiography of that time, which were written by Muslim writers. In addition to this, the literature had been flourished in the field of history by the people of various nations living in there. The oldest examples had reached this time show that the historiography started in al-Andalus with the works written approximately one and a half century after the Muslim conquest of al-Andalus. It is seen that historiography in al-Andalus had developed under the influence of the Islamic historiographical tradition from the first examples of Andalusian historians. Some of these early works also provide information about the geography of Iberian Peninsula and its history before the Islamic rule. Thus, the fact indicates that the existence of people among the Andalusian historians benefited from local works written in Latin. The Andalusian historians had compiled extremely important works in terms of historiography in the 11-12th centuries when remarkable developments were produced in various fields of science in al-Andalus. This work aims to determine the characteristic features of the history books which were written as world history, regional history and urban history in al-Andalus between the 9-15th centuries, their values of source in terms of history of al-Andalus and their relations with the Islamic historiography.
