It is a little unclear whether al-Banna was born in the city of Marrakesh or whether it was the region of Marrakesh which was named Morocco by Europeans. There is a claim that al-Banna was born in Granada in Spain and moved to North Africa for his education. What is certain is that he spent most of his life in Morocco. Morocco was certainly the country that al-Banna was educated in, learning the leading mathematical skills of the period. He studied geometry in general, and Euclid 's Elements in particular. He also studied fractional numbers and learnt much of the impressive contributions that the Arabs had made to mathematics over the preceding 400 years. The Marinids had a strong culture for learning and Fez became their centre of learning. At the university in Fez Al-Banna taught all branches of mathematics, which at this time included arithmetic, algebra, geometry and astronomy. Fez was a thriving city with a new quarter being built housing the Royal Palace and the adjoining Great Mosque. Many students studied under al-Banna in this thriving academic community. It is clear that al-Banna wrote a large number of works, in fact 82 are listed by Renaud (see for example [9]). Not all are on mathematics, but the mathematical texts included an introduction to

He was one of the earliest astronomers and astrologers in Islam. Only one of his writings is extant in Arabic, but there are many medieval Latin and Hebrew translations of it.

Dates importantes Début de l'histoire Omeyyades d'Espagne Emirs Omeyyades ... Effondrement Ibn al-Banna Ibn al-Banna is also known as Abu'l-Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Uthman al-Azdi. It is a little unclear whether al-Banna was born in the city of Marrakesh or whether it was the region of Marrakesh which was named Morocco by Europeans. There is a claim that al-Banna was born in Granada in Spain and moved to North Africa for his education. What is certain is that he spent most of his life in Morocco. The Marinids tribe were allies of the Umayyad caliphs of Córdoba. The tribe lived in eastern Morocco then, under their ruler Abu Yahya, they began to conquer the region. The Marinids captured Fez in 1248 and made it their capital. They captured Marrakesh from the ruling Almohads tribe in 1269, thus taking control of the whole of Morocco. Having conquered Morocco, the Marinids tried to help Granada to prevent the Christian advance through their country. The strong link between Granada and Morocco may account for the confusion as to which country al-Banna was a native. Morocco was certainly the country that al-Banna was educated in, learning the leading mathematical skills of the period. He studied geometry in general, and Euclid's

Al-Qalasadi Al-Qalasadi (or al-Kalasadi, as it is sometimes written) was born in Bastah, a Moorish city in Andalusia, now a part of Spain. Andalusia was derived from the Arabic name al-Andalus which was originally applied by the Muslims to the whole of present day Spain and Portugal, an area which they occupied from the 8th century. In the 11th century Christians began to retake the area, slowly moving down from the north and east. Andalusia was then the name applied to the region remaining under Muslim rule. The Christian reconquest took four hundred years. Andalusia had prospered during the 13th century and the Alhambra, a wonderful palace and fortress of the rulers of Granada, was largely completed by 1360. The Christian kingdom of Castile to the north had suffered civil strife through the 14th century, so Andalusia had prospered but, in 1407, five years before al-Qalasadi was born, Castile began a major push to conquer the whole of Spain and Portugal. Al-Qalasadi was a Muslim who was brought up in Bastah which is north-east of Granada city. It must have been a difficult period in which to live in Bastah, with a steady, yet intermittent, encroachment of Castile towards the city. Al-Qalasadi began his education in Bastah, studying law, the Qur'an and the science of fixed shares in an estate. He moved south, away from the war zone, to Granada where he continued his studies, in particular philosophy, science and Muslim law.

5. Compte-rendus 5 . 1 . Mohamed ABALLAGH Raf c al-hijab c an wujuh a c mal al-hisab li Ibn al-Banna al-Murrakushi (721/1321) [Le lever du voile sur les opérations du calcul d’Ibn al-Banna de Marrakech], Fès, Publications de la faculté des lettres et sciences humaines-Zhar al-Mahraz, n°5,1994, 360 pp. Ce livre, écrit en arabe, est centré sur un traité philosophico-mathématique du XIV e siècle du mathématicien maghrébin Ibn al-Banna (1256-1321) qui s’était rendu célèbre, durant des siècles, grâce un petit manuel , intitulé le Talkhis a c mal al-hisab [L’Abrégé des opérations du calcul] dont le Raf c al-hijab se veut un commentaire. Ce sont d’ailleurs les critiques dirigées contre certains passages du manuel qui auraient motivé la publication du livre. Dans ce dernier, l’auteur reprend le contenu de la thèse qu’il a soutenue en 1988 a l’Université de Paris I, à l’exclusion de la traduction française du traité. On y retrouve en effet l’introduction (pp. 17-93), l’édition critique du traité basé sur huit manuscrits (pp. 189-317), la transcription mathématique moderne de son contenu (pp. 95-198), un index terminologique et une bibliographie générale. A cela, l’auteur a ajouté une présentation (pp. 7-16) et trois autres index pour les noms propres, les titres des ouvrages et les noms de lieux. L’introduction rassemble, sous trois rubriques essentielles, les résultats des investigations menées par l’auteur à la fois à travers les nombreuses publications consacrées à Ibn al-Banna et, surtout, à travers des sources inédites, biobibliographiques, mathématiques et philosophiques.
