[edit] This is from Majid Fakhry

However, the first genuine philosopher of al-Andalus was Abu Bakr Ibn al-Sayigh, better known as Ibn Bajjah or Avempace (d. 1138). Unlike his Andalusian predecessors mentioned above, Avempace was thoroughly versed in philosophy, logic and medicine. He wrote paraphrases of Aristotle's Physics, Meteorology, Generation and Corruption, the Book of Animals, as Aristotle's zoological corpus was called in Arabic, and the spurious De Plantis. In addition, he wrote extensive glosses (ta`aliq) on the logical works of al-Farabi, for whom he had the highest regard, in addition to an original political treatise, modeled on al-Farabi's Virtuous City and entitled the Conduct of the Solitary (Tadbir al-Mutawahhid).
