| Abstract

:
|
This study is about the Muslim scholar Ahmad al-Maqqarī (d. 1041/1632), who is widely recognized in Western scholarship as the compiler of the eleventh-/seventeenth-century Arabic history of al-Andalus (Muslim Iberia) and biography of the eighth-/fourteenth-century Andalusī polymath Lisān al-Dīn b. al-Khatīb (d. 776/1374), <i> Nafh al-tīb min ghusn al-Andalus al-ratīb wa-dhikr wazīrihā Lisān al-Dīn b. al-Khatīb </i> (The Fragrant breeze from the fertile branch of al-Andalus and the remembrance of its minister Lisān al-Dīn b. al-Khatīb). Although al-Maqqarī is credited as the intellectual force behind the work, his role as its author as well as that of an array of works, not to mention in Arabic scholarly production more broadly, have generally been neglected to date. This study offers scholars the opportunity to reconsider al-Maqqarī as more than simply the compiler of <i>Nafh al-tīb </i>, but also as a thinker, writer, teacher, and belle-lettrist whose life, travels, and experiences contributed to his thought and left a major imprint on his writings.
