- Zahiriddin Nasr Muhammad Aufi
Sadiduddin Muhammad Aufi (1171-124سدید الدین محمد عوفی) (–2) was a Persian historian, scientist, and author.
Born in Bukhara, Aufi grew up during the apex of the Islamic Golden Age, and spent many years traveling, exploring, and lecturing to the common folk and the royalty alike in Delhi, Khorasan, Khwarizm, Samarkand, Merv, Neishaboor, Sistan and Ghaznayn.
He spent most of his time at the courts of Ghaurid kings. He dedicated his first grand work Lubab ul-Albab to the vizier of the Ghaurid Amir "Nasiriddin Ghobajeh" (ناصر الدین قباجه) (d 1227).
His second magnum opus Jawami ul-Hikayat was written under the name of the Vizier of the Ghurid Amir of Delhi.
These two are the only remaining works from him today. His works on "the History of Turkistani Lords", and his book "on the properties of matter", both referenced elsewhere, do not exist anymore. A small fragment of his "Madayih al-Sultan" remains.
Modern descendants of Aufi can be found in Oman, Kenya, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
