Three thinkers, one Spanish city

The philosopher Ibn Rushd (known in Latin Europe as Averroes) and the philosopher-physician Maimonides were born about twelve years apart in the same city, Córdoba, in the 12th century. A generation later, Thomas Aquinas, born 27 years after Ibn Rushd's death, engaged so closely with his Aristotle commentaries that Latin scholars called Ibn Rushd simply "the Commentator."
