Mohammed ibn Juzayy
Mohammed ibn Juzayy (full name in Arabic محمد بن محمد بن أحمد بن عبد الله بن يحيى بن يوسف بن عبد الرحمن بن جزي الكلبي الغرناطي Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yaḥya ibn Yūsuf ibn ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān ibn Juzayy al-Kalbī al-Garnāṭī ; born 1321 in Granada , Andalusia ; died October 25, 1357 in Fez , Morocco ), was an Arab - Andalusian scholar, poet and historian.
His father was Abu-l Qasim Mohammed ibn Juzayy. He served the Emir Yusuf I in Granada as a panegyric and fell in 1340 in the Battle of the Salado . Mohammed ibn Juzayy was mainly known for having Ibn Battūta dictating his travelogues, called Rihla , to him. Obviously he copied passages from earlier works, such as the description of Medina from the Rihla by Ibn Jubair and the description of Palestine by Mohammed al-ʿAbdari al-Hihi (محمد العبدري الحيحي) from the end of the 13th century. In addition, he decorated Ibn Battuta's simple prose style lavishly and provided him with poetic additions. He served at the court of Sultan Abu Inan Faris and died in Fez in 1357, two years after the Rihla was written.
