Al-Zahrah al-Nayyirah:
A Chronicle of European Campaigns against Algiers (1516-1775), (1780)
The First English Translation of the 1780 Arabic Manuscript Manuscript of 'Al-Zahra al-Nayyirah" by Ibn Ruqayya al-Tlemcani

In the historiography of the Early Modern Mediterranean, Western chronicles-such as those by Haedo and Father Dan-have long dominated the narrative regarding the "Barbary Corsairs." The Radiant Flower (Al-Zahra Al-Na'ira), authored by the 18th-century jurist and historian Ibn Ruqayya al-Tlemceni, offers a critical counter-narrative. This translated and annotated edition presents a rare, indigenous account of the Regency of Algiers' military encounters with European powers between the 16th and 18th centuries.

Moving beyond the reductive paradigm of piracy, Al-Tlemceni frames the conflict within the context of Jihad and territorial defense, offering detailed eyewitness accounts of pivotal events, including the disastrous Spanish expedition of 1541 and the decisive defeat of General O'Reilly in 1775. This volume is an essential primary source for scholars of Ottoman history, Maghreb studies, and Mediterranean geopolitics, providing crucial insight into the internal socio-political dynamics and strategic resilience of pre-colonial Algeria.
