AVEROES

Averoes, in Arabic Ibn Rushd (1126-1198), was an Islamic philosopher, jurist, and physician.
Scion of a long line of qadis (religious judges), he was born at Cordova and educated in
Islamic law. He was introduced to the al-Mohad ruler by Ibn Tufayl, author of the
philosophical allegory Hayy ibn Yaqzan, but he feigned ignorance of philosophy only to learn
that the ruler was at home with philosophical issues. He was given a robe of honor and later
invited to write his famous commentaries on Aristotle and made qadi of Seville. Finally, he
suceeded Ibn Tufayl as royal physician, and became chief qadi of Cordova. He was
persecuted when the ruler needed religious support in his war with Christian Spain, but died
in the calm of Marrakesh.
