Guitūn Bayyādha : Essai d'identification d’un toponyme disparu dans la région du Zab

Abstract

Dans cet article, nous nous proposons d’apporter un éclairage nouveau sur une localité qui a joué un rôle important dans la région du Zab. Nous partirons d’une confrontation entre sources textuelles et données topographiques et toponymiques, en vue d’identifier la localité de Guitūn Bayyādha et de déterminer l'origine du toponyme. Ce modeste travail contribuera à écrire l'histoire d'une localité présaharienne en premier lieu et l'histoire de la région des Ziban de façon générale.
