Lot Essay

Ibn Massara was an Andalusian scholar who was born in Cordoba in 883 and died in 931 AD. Although his name appears on the title page of this manuscript, this work appears to be wrongly attributed to him and has now been associated with Ibn Khamis al-Yaburi of Sevilla (d. 1109-10 AD),(Al-Qantara, Madrid, nº 2 (2009), pp. 467-490).
