Spanish physician and poet; physician in ordinary to Henry III. of Castile; flourished in the latter half of the fourteenth and the first part of the fifteenth century; son of Abraham ibn Zarzal. On March 6, 1405, he was at Toro, where he celebrated the birth of John II. in a poem which is given in the "Cancionero de Baena" (p. 222); and in 1389, 1400, and 1409 he resided in the Calle de Rehoyo at Segovia. The date of his death can not be determined; the epitaph found at Carmona stating that he died in 1432 is a forgery.
