    Ibn Rushd (1126-1198):   
               
    Abul Walid Mohammed Ibn Ahmad Ibn Mohammed Ibn Rushd. More commonly known by his last name, Ibn Rushd was born in Cordova. He was introduced to the court of the Al-Muwahhids and appointed as a qazi (judge) in Seville. He had a strong command over a number or subjects, as education in those days was more comprehensive. As a result, he was well versed in law and also served as a physician. But Ibn Rushd's main contribution was to philosophy, and his treatise on the work of the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, made him an authority on the subject. Ibn Rushd's writing on Greek philosophy were translated and used by European thinkers of the renaissance.
