List of Moorish writers

Writers from Andalusia, in the period 750-1496, writing in Arabic are generally referred to as Moorish writers. For a part (1085-1238) of that Moorish period, Andalusia and Morocco formed one state. After that (1238-1492) the Merinid dynasty of Morocco kept close ties with the Kingdom of Granada.
