Jurjani

Jurjani

Jurjani, the name of two Arabic scholars.

Grammarians

Abu Bakr 'Abd ul Qahir ibn 'Abdur-Rahman Uljurjani (d. 1078), Arabian grammarian, belonged to the Persian school and wrote a famous grammar, the "Kitab ul-'Awdmil ul-Mi'a" or "Kitab Mi'at 'Amil", which was edited by Erpenius (Leiden, 1617), by Baillie (Calcutta, 1803), and by A Lockett (Calcutta, 1814).

Ten Arabic commentaries on this work exist in manuscript, also two Turkish. It has been versified five times and translated into Persian. Another of his grammatical works on which several commentaries have been written is the "Kitab Jumal fin-Nahw". For other works see Carl Brockelmann's "Gesch. der Arabischen Litteratur" (1898), i.288.

Encyclopaedist

Ali ibn Mahommed ul-Jurjani (1339 – 1414), Arabian encyclopaedic writer, was born near Astarabad and became professor in Shiraz. When this city was plundered by Timur (1387) he removed to Samarkand, but returned to Shiraz in 1405, and remained there until his death.

Of his thirty-one extant works, many being commentaries on other works, one of the best known is the "Ta'rifdt" (Definitions), which was edited by G Flügel (Leipzig, 1845), published also in Constantinople (1837), Cairo (1866, etc.), and St Petersburg (1897).
