“…As a result the community fostered close links with ruling families. This is true in Fez (Montel 2016), but also in al-Qayrawān, where the biographical literature signals that the Banū Khayrūn, originally from Cordoba, frequented the Aghlabid family, and later the first Fatimid caliph ʽUbayd Allāh (Abū-l-ʽArab and al-Khushanī 1915, 175, 233;Abū-l-ʽArab and al-Khushanī 1920, 263, 327;al-Mālikī 1994, II, 52-56).…”

Given the lack of local sources, the history of Tripoli as a global Mediterranean city remains unclear until the Ottoman conquest of the 16th century. Given that documentary record, the exploration of the rich Arabic tradition written in al-Andalus provides a fresh insight into how Tripoli constructed its Mediterranean stature prior to the 11th century. First, the systematic analysis of Islamic biographical literature (ṭabaqāt) shows Tripoli was one of the most visited cities by the Andalusian scholars across the Islamic world. It also reveals they were in close contact with the Tripolitanian Mālikī networks. Eventually, The Tripolitanian elites took advantage, of that specific Andalusian connection, and using the rivalry between the caliphal powers at the dawn of the 11th century they assured the independence of the city for the first time while rejecting the Fatimid-Zirid power and recognizing the sovereignty of the Spanish Umayyads.
