Yunus al-Katib al-Mughanni (Arabic: يونس الكاتب المغنّي) was a well-known musician and writer on music in the first half of the 2nd/8th century. He was the son of a jurist (faqih) of Persian[1] origin and a mawla (non-Arab, Muslim freedman or client) of the family of al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam. Beside music, he was also a famous poet.[1]


‌Biography


He was born and grown up in Medina. Since he was a scribe in local divan, he became known as "al-katib". But soon he became interested in music and took lessons from Ma'bad, Ibn Suraydi, Ibn Muhriz, al-Gharid and Muhammad ibn Abbad al-katib. During a trip to Syria at the time of Caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik (r. 724–743), his fame on music brought him the patronage of Caliph al-Walid II. This event is mentioned in the book of One Thousand and One Nights in 684th and 685th nights.[1]

He was still alive in the early years of Abbasid Caliphate (post 750) and his best pupil was Siyat who in turn was a teacher of Ibrahim al-Mawsili.[1]
