About The Author
Ibn Razīn Al-Tujībī
Ibn Razin al-Tujibi (1227-1293) was a thirteenth-century Muslim-Andalucian scholar. Born to a wealthy family of scholars living in Murcia, he and his family fled his native town in 1247 following the Christian reconquest of Spain. He first went to Ceuta but after a few years moved on to Bougie (in present-day Algeria) before eventually settling in Tunis, where he achieved fame as a teacher. While Al-Tujibi wrote many books, only his cookbook Delicacies from Thirteenth Century Spain and North Africa survives.
