description The 'Abbāsid caliph al-Wāthiq (838-842) is one of the least studied of the caliphs of the Sāmarran period, although he is generally considered the last to rule an effective, centralized caliphate. Information about him in the medieval sources is split between literary anecdotes in belles-lettres works and historical reports preserved mainly by Ṭabarī and other chroniclers. This study explores the relation between these two types of sources and the way narrators constructed a fictional image of this caliph that was allusive in form and conditioned by his religious policies during the Miḥna.
