Ibn Faradi

Abū–l-Walīd ‛Abdallāh ibn ul-Faradi (962 – 1012), best known as Ibn Faradi, was a Muladi historian. He was born at Córdoba and studied law and tradition. In 992, he made the pilgrimage and proceeded to Egypt and Kairawan, studying in these places. After his return, in 1009 he became qadi in Valencia. He and his fellow Muladis were killed at Córdoba when the Berbers took the city.^[1]

Ibn Faradi's chief work is the History of the Learned Men of Andalusia, edited by F. Codera (Madrid, 1891 – 1892). He also wrote a history of the poets of Andalusia.^[1]
