ResumoRESUMEN: La familia Kati es una de las mas notables de la ciudad de Tombuctu, posiblemente el centro politico, economico y cultural mas importante del Africa Occidental subsahariana a partir del siglo XIII. A esta familia pertenecio el que ha sido generalmente considerado autor del Taʾrīj al-Fattās, Maḥmūd Kāti. Esta cronica es una fuente esencial para el conocimiento de la historia del que los autores arabes medievales llamaron Bilād al-Sūdān, el Pais de los Negros. El objetivo de este articulo es revisar la tradicion mantenida en el seno de la familia de que el padre de Maḥmūd Kāti, descendiente de un antiquisimo linaje andalusi, se instalo en el Sudan Occidental en el ultimo tercio del siglo XV, procedente de la Peninsula Iberica. ABSTRACT: The Kati family happens to be one of the most dignitary in the city of Timbuktu, which is probably the most important political, economic and cultural center of the Western Sub-Saharan Africa since 13th century on. The mostly considered author of theTaʾrīj al-Fa ttās, Maḥmūd Kāti, was part of this family. This chronicle is an essential source for the knowledge of the history of which Medieval Arabian writers called Bilād al-Sūdān, the Country of Black People. The aim of this article is to review the tradition kept within the family, that Maḥmūd Kāti’s father, descendant of a very old Andalusi lineage, settled in Western Sudan in the last third of 15th century, coming from the Iberian Peninsula.
