Cannabaceae

Ali ibn Attiya ibn al-Zaqqaq (Arabic: علي إبن عطيّة إبن الزقّاق البلنسي اللخمي) (c. 1100 Valencia - 1133 or 1134) was one of the great poets of Al-Andalus during the reign of the Almoravids.[1] He was a Muslim from Banu Lakhm. His mother was the sister of fellow Andalusian poet, Ibn Khafaja, and there is scholarly dispute regarding his father.[2] He was a disciple under philosopher Ibn Ṣîd de Badajoz.[3]

El sueño de Al-Zaqqâq by Luis Delgado is a collection of the works of Ibn Al-Zaqqaq set to music.

Reception

[edit]

Literary historian Emilio García Gómez referred to al-Zaqqaq's descriptive poetry as "the dramatization of metaphor".[4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
