Al-Sharif al-Jurjani
Ali ibn Mohammed al-Jurjani (1339–1414)[1] (Persian علی بن محمد جرجانی) was a Persian[2] encyclopedic writer[1] and traditionalist theologian. He was born near Astarabad and became a professor in Shiraz.[1] When this city was plundered by Timur in 1387, he moved to Samarkand, but returned to Shiraz in 1405, and remained there until his death.[1]
Of his thirty-one extant works, many being commentaries on other works, one of the best known is the Taʿrīfāt (تعريفات "Definitions"), which was edited by G Flügel (Leipzig, 1845), published also in Constantinople (1837), Cairo (1866, etc.), and St Petersburg (1897).[1]
