Biographical Record

Abu Zayd Abd al-Rahman al-Fasi was regarded as the Ibn Sina of 17th-century Morocco. Belonging to the intellectual Fasi family of the Qalqashandi lineage, he demonstrated astonishing encyclopedic breadth, authoring over 170 treatises during his lifetime.

His celebrated musical compendium codified the modes (Tubū') and poetic metres of Moroccan-Andalusian classical music, while his scientific writings on astronomy, optics, and medicine served as core university curricula at Al-Qarawiyyin for two centuries.
