Abstract
The use of Arabic characters is an important feature of both translated and original Morisco and Mudejar texts. This aspect, not emphasized enough by scholars, has been explained by two hypotheses that of secrecy and that of consecration. In this article, starting from the concept of ethnicity, the use of Arabic characters is explained as a symbolic mechanism of ethnic identification. A mechanism that had lost a great degree of its functionality by the time of the expulsion. From this point of view, the use of Arabic characters is coherent with all the other distinctive features which define the line of Islamic translation.
