Abraham ibn Zimra
Abraham ibn Zimra (French: Abraham Benzamiro) was a Spanish rabbi, physician and diplomat who fled to Morocco following the Spanish inquisition.
Descended from a well-known and respected Sephardi family, ibn Zimra settled in Safi, Morocco following the expulsion from Spain in 1492. He was a talented calligrapher and composed poetry in Hebrew and Arabic.[1]
He is buried in Safi with his six siblings and his tomb is the site of an annual pilgrimage.[2]
