Reinhart Dozy

The Dozys, like other contemporary French families, emigrated to the Low Countries after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, but some of the former appear to have settled in the Netherlands as early as 1647.

He became a member of the successor institute, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, in 1855.

[2] This translation of an original thirteenth century Arabic history, titled "Kitab al-mujib fi talkhis akhbar ahl al-Maghrib" (Book of Response: A Short History of the Maghreb) by the Almohad historian Abdelwahid al-Marrakushi, was reprinted in 1881 and 1968.

Al-Marrakushi (b.1185) had lived nine years in Al-Andalus (present-day southern Spain) from 1206-1215.

He had visited Egypt and Mecca in 1221, and returned to Morocco to complete his book in 1224.
