Abul-Abbas Ahmad ibn Ali al-Mandjur al-Miknasi al-Fasi (Arabic: أحمد المنجور; 1520–1587, born and died in Fes) was a Moroccan scholar of theology and law and a prominent teacher at the Qarawiyyin University.[1] He is known to have educated qadis for several Moroccan towns. Between 1579 and 1585 he spent much time in Marrakesh, where he taught the Moroccan sultan Ahmad al-Mansur.[2] He is the author of theological commentaries, and especially his fahrasa (account of his scholarly career) is of great renown.[3] He was the father of the well-known writer Ahmad Ibn al-Qadi.[4][5]
