The present study analyzes the information offered in this work, considering aspects such as the selection criteria of the material, its arrangement throughout the text, as well as the plausibility and possible origin of the proposed etymologies. As an overall assessment, the innovative character of the work and its importance as a source of inspiration and material for the authors of dictionaries in the decades following its publication are highlighted.application/pdfesAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ToponimiaLexicografía histórica del españolEtimologíaArabismoFrancisco López TamaridToponymyHistorical lexicography of SpanishEtymologyArabismjournal articleopen access
