The use of biblical elements in Christian Iberian historical writing increased after the Umayyad conquest.
The first chronicles after the invasion only contained a small number of typologically relevant passages, but the amount of biblical elements increased as polemics against foreign Muslim rule intensified.
The so-called Prophetic Chronicle from 883 is a particularly good example of this trend. It was influenced by the milieu of Mozarabic Christians guided by Paulus Alvarus and Eulogius of Córdoba in their intellectual struggle against Islam, and is based on a quotation adapted from the Prophet Ezekiel.
The chronicle claims an end of foreign domination 170 years after its beginning and connects this with a revised prophecy. Furthermore, it contains a life of Muḥammad in which the prophet is depicted in a completely negative way.
