Ibn Rushd ابن رشد

1126–1198 also known as Averroes, the Commentator

Judge of Cordoba and Seville, court physician to the Almohads, and the most thorough commentator Aristotle ever had. Latin universities knew him simply as the Commentator. He died in Marrakesh in December 1198, out of favor and far from his books.
