Born : 1437, Meknes
Died : 1513
Abu Abdallah Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Muhammad Ibn Ghazi al-'Utmani al-Miknasi (1437–1513) was a
Moroccan scholar in the field of history, Islamic law, Arabic philology
and mathematics.
He was born in Meknes from banu uthman, a clan in the Berber kutama tribe,
but spent his life in Fez. Ibn Ghazi wrote a three-volume history of Meknes and
a commentary to the treatise of Ibn al-Banna, Munyat al-hussab. For an
explanation of his work, Ibn Ghazi wrote another treatise (about 300 pages
long) titled Bughyat al-tulab fi sharh munyat al-hussab ("The desire of
students for an explanation of the calculator's craving"). He included sections
on arithmetic and algebraic methods. He is also the author of Kulliyat, a short
work on legal questions and judgements in the Maliki madhab.
