Cheikh Nefzaoui

Muhammad ibn Umar al-Nafzawi, known as Sheikh Nefzaoui, was born in the south of present-day Tunisia, in the Nefzaoua region from which he takes his name, and lived between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The BnF catalogue regards him as a jurist and a man of letters. Little is known of him beyond what he says himself: he composed his book in Tunis, under the Hafsid dynasty, at the request of a grand vizier of the court. No precise date of birth or death is known for him.
