Shihab al-Din Muhammad al-Nasawi (died c. 1250) was a secretary and biographer of Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu, the Khwarezmid dynast. Born in Nasa in Khorasan, he witnessed first-hand the Mongol invasion of Khorasan and Jalal ad-Din's subsequent flight and military adventures of which he left an account written in Arabic c. 1241.[1]
