, Abū ʿAmr ʿOt̲h̲mān b. Saʿīd b. ʿOmar al-Omawī, born at Cordova in 371 = 981-982 is best known by the name of Abū ʿAmr al-Dānī (of Denia) as he lived for long at Denia, in the province of Valencia. I began my studies, he tells us himself, in 385 (var. 384, 386, 387) at the age of 14 and set out for the east on Sunday the 2nd Muḥarram 397 = 29th Sept. 1006. After spending four months at Ḳairawān I entered Cairo in the month of S̲h̲awwāl of the same year. In 398 (= 1007) I left Egypt and went to Mecca and Medīna to perform the pilgrimage. I spent the most of these two years in study and returned to Cordova in the month of Ḏh̲u ’l-Ḳaʿda 399 = August 1009.
