Ibn abd al-Malik al-Marrakushi or al-Murrakushi (Full name: Abu abd Allah Muhammed ibn Muhammed ibn abd al-Malik al-Marrakushi Arabic: أبو عبد الله محمد بن محمد بن عبد الملك المراكشي ) (b. 5 July 1237 – September 1303) was a Moroccan Arab scholar, historian, judge and biographer. He is the author of the famous book 'Ad-Dayl wa Takmila', a nine-volume biographical encyclopaedia of notable people from Morocco and al-Andalus.
Born into a notable family of prestigious Arab lineage in Marrakech, [1] hence the nisba, al-Marrakushi. In 1300, Ibn Abd al-Malik left Marrakech following the court of the Marinid King Abu Yaqub Yusuf an-Nasr and settled in Mansourah, where the Marinids were besieging Tlemcen in an attempt to oust the Abd al-Wadid dynasty. He seems to have died there three years later in September 1303, despite reports of him being at Aghmat only three months earlier. [2] He had a son who settled in Málaga where he became a close friend of Ibn al-Khatib. The latter based much of his biographical book Al-Ihata on the works of Ibn abd al-Malik. [2]
