Muhammad al-Riquti

  • ... that Muhammad al-Riquti taught Muslims, Christians, and Jews at his school, under the patronage of Alfonso X?
    Source: "It only seems certain that ... the future Alfonso X (he was not yet king at the time), enabled al-Riquti to teach Muslims, Christians, and Jews after the conquest of Murcia in 1243 (Wiegers p. 50)"
    • ALT1: ... that Muhammad al-Riquti was offered rewards by Alfonso X if he were to convert to Christianity, but he chose to migrate to Muhammad II's Emirate of Granada?
      Source: "the king offered considerable compensation to those who converted to Christianity, and this was accepted by figures such as Bernardo el Arabigo ... A much more important phyisician and mathematician, Muhammad al-Riquti, refused the royal offer and left for the Granada of Muhammad II" (Vernet & Samsó 1996, p. 271).

Overall: New enough and long enough, neutral and seems free of plagiarism (Earwig's Copyvio Detector stands at 0%!). Hook cited and interesting, and QPQ done. I prefer the original hook but ALT1 is also OK. Seems good to go - well done! Xwejnusgozo (talk) 21:59, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
