Burhan-ud-din Kermani

Burhan-ud-din Kermani

Burhān-ud-din Nafīs ibn ‘Iwad Kirmanī was a 15th century Persian physician from Kerman. Nafis ibn ‘Iwad al-Kirmani was court physician to Ulugh Beg, the grandson of Tamerlane and the governor of Samarqand from 1409 to 1449 CE.

In 1424CE, Kirmani dedicated to Ulugh Beg his commentary on the medical compendium of Najib al-Din al-Samarqandi, and in 1437CE he again dedicated to Ulugh Beg his popular commentary on "The Canon of Medicine" of Avicenna.

Al-Kirmani's commentary on Najib al-Din al-Samarqandi's treatise was so popular that commentaries were written on the commentary, and it was translated into Persian and amplified by Muqim Arzani in the 18th century.

He died in 1449 CE.
