Overview
Ahmad ibn al-Qasim ibn al-Faqih Qadim al-Hajari al-Andalusi, known as al-Shihab, and called Afuqay. He was an Andalusian from the quarter of al-Hajar al-Ahmar near Granada, and lived under Spanish rule. 1
The museum's data give his birth as 977 AH (about 1570 CE), from this source alone, so it needs an additional source. 1
