Abū Muḥammad Makkī ibn Abī Ṭālib al-Qaysī al-Qayrawānī al-Andalusī al-Qurṭubī was a Mālikī jurist and, in the assessment of Angelika Neuwirth, "one of the earliest and most distinguished scholars in the science of Ḳurʾān reading [...] and especially the theory and art of recitation [...] in the Muslim West".
