Maria Alphaizuli

Maria Alphaizuli or Mariam Bint Abu Ya'Qub was an 8th-century poet from Seville.[1]

Living during the time of the Moors, she has been referred to as the Arabian Sappho.[1] During her time, many women of the Andalusian area cultivated the arts.[1] Some well-preserved examples of her work survive in the library of the Escorial.[1]
