Içe de Gebir dating history

Details

Içe de Gebir (Arabic: عيسى بن جابر الشقوبي; Īsā ibn Jābir Al-Sheqoobi; sometimes also found as Isa, Iça, Içe, Yça, Yza, and Ysa, and last name can be also spelled as Gebir, Jabir, or Yábir) was a prominent Faqīh or Muslim legal scholar in the Catholic Kingdom of Castille in the fifteen century CE. He was based in the city of Segovia, but travelled to Aiton, Savoie to assist John of Segovia in the major work of translating the Quran into Castilian Spanish, as it was a rare book in Christian Europe at the time. He is also the author of Sunni Breviary, a thirteen volume collection on Islamic law and daily Muslim practices, based on Prophet Muhammad's teachings. His works became widely used by Mudéjars in Spain because of the loss of Arabic in the region.
