Ibn al-Zaqqaq
For the Maliki scholar see Ali ibn Qasim al-Zaqqaq.
Ali ibn Attiya ibn al-Zaqqaq (علي إبن عطيّة إبن الزقّاق البلنسي) (ca. 1100 Valencia - 1133 or 1134) was one of the great poets of Al-Andalus during the reign of the Almoravids.[1] He came from a Moroccan, Berber family and was the nephew of Ibn Khafaja.
The patrons of Ibn al-Zaqqaq were two Valencian families, a governor, a family of Almoravid dignitaries, probably the supreme Almoravid judge of the East and perhaps the Almoravid ruler Ali ibn Yusuf himself.[2]
Sueno de al Zaqqaq by Luis Delgado is a collection of the works of Ibn Al-Zaqqaq set to music.
