About Ibn al-Azraq
Lived 1427 – 1491 (aged 63–64). Ibn al-Azraq was a literary scholar and qadi.
Abū 'Abd-Allāh Ibn al-Azraq was a Muslim jurist born in Málaga, Al Andalus in 1427.
Educated in law in Málaga and Granada, he became a judge in Guadix, Málaga, and finally became the Supreme Judge of Granada under Sultan Abu al-Hasan. At the same time, two envoys were sent to the Ottoman Empire, with the same request for help, one from Xàtiva, and a certain Pacoret from Paterna. As his mission was fruitless, he remained in the Orient, and became judge in Jerusalem in 1491. He died the same year after a few months.
