About Hasdai Ibn Shaprut
Hasdai ibn Shaprut (Hebrew: חסדאי אבן שפרוט; Arabic: حسداي بن شبروط, romanized: Abu Yusuf ibn Shaprut), also known as Abu Yusuf ben Yitzhak ben Ezra, was a Jewish scholar, physician, diplomat, and patron of science in medieval al-Andalus (c. 905–965).
He served as a minister at the court of Caliph Abd al-Rahman III of Córdoba, where he was responsible for foreign affairs and diplomacy. Renowned for his medical expertise, most famously for treating the obesity of Sancho of León, he is also remembered for overseeing the Arabic translation of De Materia Medica by Dioscorides, which became a cornerstone of medieval pharmacology.
