Abstract
The manuscript Madrid 5012 contains a fragmentary Byzantine imperial letter to the 10th-century caliph’s court of Cordoba only preserved in arabic. Since the first edition of this letter by S.M. Stern in 1961 there have been various suggestions to identify the dispatcher of the letter (Romanos II, Nikephoros II Phokas or Ioannes I Tzimiskes), always assuming the adressee was the Umayyad caliph al-Ḥakam II during his reign (961-976). Based on a new interpretation of the arabic text of the letter, it can been shown that it was dispatched by Konstantinos VII Porphyrogennetos to al-Ḥakam II before its accession to power, probably in the years between 946 and 956.
