ابن زهر
Under the Almoravids, Mauro-Andalusi strophic "zajal" poetry flourished. In his "Muqaddimah", Ibn Khaldun discusses the development of "zajal" in al-Andalus under the Almoravids, mentioning Ibn Quzman, Ibn Zuhr, and others. Although Andalusi "zajal" was originally composed in the dialectical Arabic of Cordoba, Ibn Khaldun also mentions the importance of "zajal" in Moroccan cities such as Fes.
