- Title
INDAGACIONES FORMALES EN LA ARQUITECTURA CALIFAL CORDOBESA A PROPÓSITO DE UN ENIGMÁTICO DIBUJO DE 1727.

- Abstract
The Andalusian caliphate forms continue to fascinate us to this day. We marvel at the complexity of certain forms and wonder about the sources that inspired them. The need to interpret the late drawing of a mosque converted into a church in Córdoba has prompted us to examine this subject in greater detail. The building would appear to belong to the rare "nine vault" typology, although it has yet to be dated. In this paper we analyse the origin, use and chronology of significant architectural organisations drawn on the plan. Some of them have obvious analogies with the ones used in the enlargement of the great mosque in Córdoba undertaken by the Umayyad caliph al-Hakam II, while others evidence the arrival and creative adaptation of forms used in ancient Ifr qiya.
