Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri (973 – 1057) was a Levantine philosopher, writer, and poet known for his controversially irreligious views for his era.[1]

Legacy

In May 1583, the Assassin apprentice Simeon Price, under the alias of "Jack Straw", returned several philosophical books to his mentor, Oscar Kane. Among them, a translated copy of al-Ma'arri's 1033 title Epistle of Forgiveness.[2]
