Ibn Rushd (1126-98, full name in Arabic: أبو الوليد محمد ابن احمد ابن رشد, romanized: Abū l-Walīd Muḥammad Ibn ʾAḥmad Ibn Rušd, often Latinized as Averroes) was an Andalusian polymath and jurist who wrote on many scholarly subjects, including philosophy, theology, medicine, astronomy, physics, psychology, mathematics, Islamic jurisprudence and law, and linguistics. The author of more than 100 books and treatises, his philosophical works include numerous commentaries on Aristotle, for which he was known in the Western world as The Commentator and Father of Rationalism.
Maimonides recommended the commentaries of Averroes as an aid to understanding Aristotle.
