Ibn Zur'a
(Redirected from Ibn Zurʿa)
Abū ʿAlī ʿĪsā ibn Isḥāq ibn Zurʿa (Arabic: ابن زرعة; 943–1008) was a medieval physician and philosopher. He was born in Abbasid Baghdad to a Syriac Jacobite Christian family. He was a student of Yahya ibn Adi. He was accused of engaging in trade with the Byzantines and convicted. His possessions were confiscated and he died in Baghdad in 1008.
Ibn Zurʿa may be the philosopher "Antecer" cited by Pedro Gallego in his Latin works of the 13th century, if the latter is a garbled version of Avençer.[1]
