Valencia

Abu Muhammad Abdallah ibn Muhammad al-Ilyusi of Badajoz in al-Andalus; a profound master of adab and the languages who settled at Valencia where people gathered to read under him — a trustworthy, precise teacher; his works include the two-volume al-Muthallath, al-Iqtidab on the adab of the kuttab, a commentary on al-Ma'arri's Saqt al-Zand (said better than Abu al-Ala's own), a book on the five letters, al-Hilal on the Jummal verses, al-Tanbih on the causes of the umma's divergence and a commentary on the Muwatta — and it was said he never left the Maghreb, everything he touched being of the finest quality; b. 444 at Badajoz, d. mid-Rajab 521 at Valencia 1.

استيلاء القنبيطور على بلنسية

Valencia's fall to Rodrigo el Campeador in 488 (some say 487): raised by Ibn Hud of Zaragoza, he took the city after a twenty-month siege, burned the qadi Ibn Jahhaf over the concealed treasury, and destroyed it — the poet Ibn al-Banna among the burned — until the Almoravid amir Mazdali retook it for Yusuf ibn Tashfin in 495.
