Moorish Poetry

[Zagalejo]

Hiya.

Does anyone have any biographical information for the following Moorish / Morisco poets?

Ibn Jakh
Abu Bakr al-Turtushi
Ibn Iyad
Ibn Sarah
Juan Alfonso
Muhammad Rabadan

I have to give a little presentation on the Moors for my English class. I've able to find some of their poetry, but I haven't seen any information about the poets themselves. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

I just found this site by the way. It seems like a pretty cool place. :wave: I think I'll be sticking around for a while....

Welcome to the forums Zagalejo.

I've moved your topic from General Lit to the Poems, Poets and Poetry section, you may get better response there.

OK, thanks. Yeah, for some reason I didn't see that poetry folder until after I posted the message. Typcial newbie irrationality. :blush: I hope it wasn't too much trouble to move the thread.
