Ibn al-Qūṭīya

Japanese: イブン･アルクーティーヤ（英語表記）Ibn al‐Qūṭīya

?-978
He was of a distinguished family with Visigothic royal blood and served under the Umayyad dynasty. He was a great scholar of his time, skilled in poetry, grammar and folklore, and even served as a judge in his later years. In addition to an excellent grammar book, he also left behind a book called "History of the Conquest of Andalusia." There are many variant versions of this history book, and it contains inaccurate information, but it is extremely important for historical research of this period, when documents are scarce. Its valuable folklore and anecdotes, centered on court life in Córdoba in the 9th century, are essential materials for understanding the history and customs of the time.

？‐978
西ゴートの王族の血をひく名門の出身で，後ウマイヤ朝に臣従した。詩文，文法学，伝承学等に長じ，晩年には裁判官もつとめた当代の碩学。著作としては優れた文法書のほかに，《アンダルス征服史》が残されている。この史書には多くの異本があり，不正確な情報も混入しているが，文献の希少なこの時代の歴史研究にはきわめて重要である。9世紀のコルドバの宮廷生活を中心とした貴重な伝承，逸話は，当時の歴史，風俗を知るための不可欠の資料となっている。
