Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Isa Abd al-Malik ibn Isa ibn Quzman al-Zuhri (Arabic: أبو بكر محمد بن عيسى بن عبدالملك بن عيسى بن قزمان الزهري; 1087–1160)[1] was the single most famous poet in the history of Al-Andalus and he is also considered to be one of its most original.[2] One of the characteristics of his poetry was "satire, verging on the licentious, aimed at religious experts."[3] He deeply admired his "Eastern predecessor" Abu Nuwas.[4]
