Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Abī Zarʿ al-Fāsī (Arabic:أبو الحسن علي بن أبي زرع الفاسي) (d. between 1310 and 1320) is the commonly presumed original author of the popular and influential medieval history ofMorocco known asRawd al-Qirtas,[1] said to have been written at the instigation ofMarinid SultanAbu Sa'id Uthman II. His fullnasab is sometimes given asibn Abd Allah ibn Abi Zar and sometimes asibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Umar ibn Abi Zar. The uncertainty about his name and authorship of theRawd is caused by the many variant manuscripts in circulation since the Middle Ages. Very little is known about his life except that he was evidently a scholar atFes.
