Ibn Maḍāʾ Al-Qurṭubī
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ibn Maḍāʾ Al-Qurṭubi (Arabic:ابن مضاء القرطبي ) Was a Muslim scholar from Córdoba in Al-Andalus. He served as qadi al-qudāt (head of jurists) under the Mohads. He was also versed in medicine, mathematics and geometry. He, recently, rose to attention as one of the first to launch attack on Arabic grammar theory calling for its reformation. Even though he was concerned with attacking all major schools of Arabic grammar, he was focused on Basri grammar, as it was the most popular school around him.[1]
