Rashid al-Din Muhammad al-Umari Vatvat

Rashid al-Din Muhammad al-Umari Vatvat

Rashid al-Din Muhammad al-Umari Vatvāt was a 12th century royal panegyrist and epistolographer of Persia.

Serving at the court of Khwarazmshah Kings, he is not to be mistaken for a later physician by the name Amin al-Din Rashid al-Din vatvat.

He also composed qasidehs, but his rhetorical work "Hadā'iq 'us-sihr" ("The Gardens of Magic") is in prose.
