Al-Shahrazuri

Al-Shahrazuri

Shams al-Din Muhammad ibn Mahmud Shahrazuri was a 13th century Kurdish physician and philosopher of the Ilkhanate and late Abbasid era of Iran.

"Shahrazur" is a region in Hawraman, in what is today Iraqi Kurdistan. Shahrazuri was an important historian and scholar of the late 13th century who composed a biographical dictionary of both ancient Greek and early Muslim learned men.

Although he wrote a major work on the biographies of scholars, his own life is virtually unknown, for neither his birth nor death dates are certain.

Edward Granville Browne mentions two medical works attributed to him, one in Arabic, and another in Persian language.(E. Browne, p.100)

It does appear that he was alive in 1288CE.
