Ibn al-Abbar

Ibn al-Abbar

Ibn al-Abbar, in full Abu Abd Allah Muhammad Ibn al-Abbar (1199, Valencia - 1260, Bougie) was a well-known poet, diplomat, theologian and scholar from al-Andalus and perhaps the most famous man of letters produced by the city of Valencia during the middle ages.

Ibn al-Abbar began his official career as a secretary to the Muslim governor of the Emirate of Balansiya. Well-known is the "qasida" which he wrote as ambassador of the Hafsid governor of Valencia to the Tunisian sultan asking for help against the forces of king James and the elegy he wrote after the fall of the city (September 1238). He then settled in Tunisia and he did well. Later he fell in disgrace and was burnt at the stake because of his writings. His works that remain (La Tunica recamada and Complemento al libro del regalo) are of great importance for the understanding of the history and the culture of his period.
