Ibn Bassām or Ibn Bassām al-Shantarīnī (Arabic: ابن بسام الشنتريني; 1058-1147) was an Arab-Andalusian poet[1] and historian from al-Andalus. He was born in Santarém (sometimes spelled Shantarin or Xantarin) and hailed from the Banu Taghlib tribe.[2] He died in 1147.
Ibn Bassam describes how the incessant invasions of the Christians forced him to run away from Santarém in Portugal, "the last of the cities of the west," after seeing his lands ravaged and his wealth destroyed, a ruined man with no possessions save his battered sword.[3]
Especially well known is his anthology Dhakhīra fī mahāsin ahl al-Jazīra [ar] (The Treasury concerning the Merits of the People of Iberia), an important source relating to the Almoravid dynasty.[4]
