Abd al-Majid ibn Abdun, or in full Abu Mohammed Abd al-Majid ibn Abdun al-Yaburi عبد المجيد بن عبدون اليابري (c. 1050-1135, died in Évora) was a poet from Al-Andalus. He was the secretary of one of the two kings of the Taifa of Badajoz (governing in Évora) Umar ibn Mohammed al-Muwakkil (1078) of the Berber Miknasa Aftasid dynasty. When the Aftasid dynasty was defeated and Badajoz conquered by the Almoravids, Ibn Abdun became the secretary of Yusuf ibn Tashfin and later of his son Ali ibn Yusuf. He wrote a diwan. One of his best known poems is a qasida (elegy) on the downfall of the house of the Aftasids, known as al-Qasidah al-bassamah or sometimes the Abduniyya.[1] Ibn Badrun (died 1211), himself a well known poet of Al-Andalus, wrote a lengthy commentary on the poems and prose of Ibn Abdun (Cup of the Flower and Shell of the Pearl), translated and edited by Reinhart Dozy in 1848.
