description [EN] The aim of this article is to broaden our knowledge of the metrological system of the Morisco period in the kingdom of Granada and, more specifically, in the rural area of the Alpujarra. The sources used in the analysis are two inventories of ecclesiastical goods from Islamic origin, drawn up in 1527 and 1530, four decades after the culmination of the Christian conquest of al-Andalus. The article explores the agrarian units of measurement used by the Morisco community of the Alpujarra in their daily lives (measures of surface area and length, weight or mass, volume or capacity, and of water used for irrigation). As far as possible, equivalences are presented for the units discussed. Attempts are made to establish whether these measures were inherited from the Andalusi period or whether, on the contrary, they were the result of the implementation of Castilian legislation on the matter. The data gathered have revealed the existence of a hybrid measurement system, which shows that the ordinances to modify the system of weights and measures of the Muslims and to seek a correspondence with the Castilian system had little effect in the Alpujarra, where, in many cases, the Islamic system of measurement continued in use. This circumstance indicates that the changes and transformations in the daily life of this rural community after the Christian conquest were not as imminent as might have been expected.

Las fuentes utilizadas en el análisis son dos inventarios que registran bienes eclesiásticos de origen islámico, elaborados en 1527 y 1530, cuatro décadas después de la culminación de la conquista cristiana de al-Andalus. El artículo explora las unidades de medida agrarias utilizadas por la comunidad morisca de la Alpujarra en su vida cotidiana (medidas de superficie y longitud, peso o masa, volumen o capacidad, y de agua utilizada para el riego). En la medida de lo posible, se presentan las equivalencias de las unidades analizadas. Asimismo, se intenta establecer si estas medidas fueron heredadas de la época andalusí o si, por el contrario, fueron el resultado de la aplicación de la legislación castellana en la materia. Los datos recogidos han revelado la existencia de un sistema de medidas híbrido, lo que demuestra que las ordenanzas para modificar el sistema de pesos y medidas de los musulmanes y buscar una correspondencia con el sistema castellano tuvieron poco efecto en la Alpujarra, donde, en muchos casos, el sistema de medidas islámico siguió en uso. Esta circunstancia indica que no todos los cambios y transformaciones en la vida cotidiana de esta comunidad rural tras la conquista cristiana fueron tan inminentes como cabría esperar.Research for this paper has been carried out within two research projects: on the one hand, project FFI2016-79252-P, funded by MCIN/AEI/ERDF, EU; on the other hand, project PID2020-118989GB-I00, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033Peer reviewedCambridge University PressMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad (España)Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (España)Agencia Estatal de Investigación (España)European CommissionCarballeira Debasa, Ana María [0000-0003-3114-9257]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202220222022info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://hdl.handle.net/10261/260676reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
