Ibn al-Jawzi, ‘Abd al-Rahman
Ibn al-Jawzi, ‘Abd al-Rahman (‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Jawzi) (Abu'l-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi) (1126-1200). Hanbali jurisconsult, traditionist, historian and preacher in Baghdad. He was one of the most influential persons in the ‘Abbasid capital, as much through his activity in the university as through his preaching, especially during the reign of the ‘Abbasid Caliph al-Mustadi‘ bi-Amr Allah. He fell in disgrace during the reign of the Caliph al-Nasir li-Din Allah, who sent him in exile to the town of Wasit in 1194. In 1199, he made a triumphant return to the capital. He was one of the most prolific writers of Arabic literature. As a historian, he is especially known for his history of the caliphate from 871 to 1179, an exceptionally rich source; for his history of Sufism; and for his laudatory biographies.
Ibn al-Jawzi was an Islamic scholar whose family traces their lineage back to that of Abu Bakr, the famous companion of the prophet Muhammad and first caliph. He belonged to the Hanbali school of jurisprudential thought.
He was known for his works in exegesis of the Qur'an as well as his numerous hadith writings. One of the more famous of the latter is his "Tahqiq", a compendium of both the hadith evidence used by the Hanbali school of jurisprudential thought and a work of comparative law (Arabic: fiqh). He is said to have been a precocious child who allegedly made his first speech at the age of ten (attended by a crowd of 50,000), and authored his first book at the age of thirteen.
Ibn al-Jawzi is perhaps the most prolific author in Islamic history. The number of Ibn al-Jawzi’s books reached a staggering total of 376 texts. His works include:
* Al-Tahqiq
* A Great Collection of Fabricated Traditions (Al-Mawdu'at al-Kubra)

Theology
Ibn al-Jawzi is famous for the theological stance that he took against other Hanbalites of the time, in particular Ibn al-Zaghuni and al-Qadi Abu Ya'la. He believed that these and other Hanbalites had gone to extremes in affirming God's Attributes, so much so that he accused them of tarnishing the reputation of Hanbalites and making it synonymous with extreme anthropomorphism. Ibn al-Jawzi believed that Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal himself disapproved of such theology. Ibn al-Jawzi's most famous work in this regard is his Daff' Shubah al-Tashbih.

Ibn al-Jawzi, Sibt
Ibn al-Jawzi, Sibt (Sibt ibn al-Jawzi) (Abu-Muzaffar) (Yusuf ibn Abd-Allah) (1185-1256). Preacher and historian. A grandson of ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Jawzi, he abandoned Hanbalism for Hanafism. He is the author of an expansive universal history. The work is of great value not only for his own period but also for the tenth through eleventh centuries because he preserved in extenso and without criticism the versions of sources which often no longer survive.
Yusuf ibn Abd-Allah, famously known as Sibt ibn al-Jawzi or Abu-Muzaffar, was a famous scholar. He was the grandson of the great Hanbali scholar Abul-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi who is known for his works such as A Great Collection of Fabricated Traditions (Arabic: Al-Mawdu'at al-Kubra) and the Provision of the Journey (Arabic:Zad Al-Maseer). His name "Sibt ibn al-Jawzi" denotes that he is the "Sibt" or grandson from his daughter, or his daughter's son (as opposed to the "hafeed" which is the grandson from the son, or the son's son.)
Yusuf is known to be Sunni. He followed the Hanafi school of jurisprudential thought. He was known for his high intellect and diligence in research.
Born in Baghdad, in his formative years he was raised on Hanbali educational materials, yet when his family moved to Mosul, Iraq, he began his Hanafi education. He was known for his book "Mir’at al-zaman" his famous work of history, that is reported to be forty volumes long in his own handwriting.
Yusuf died in Damascus, in his home atop Mount Qasiyun, and was buried there.
The works of Sibt ibn al-Jawzi include:
* "Mir’at al-zaman" was his famous work of history.
* The Defense and Advocacy of the True School of Law (Arabic: al-Intisar wa al-Tarjih li al-Madhhab al-Sahih) - in praise of Abu Hanifa and his school.

Ibn al-Jawzi, Sibt (Sibt ibn al-Jawzi) (Abu-Muzaffar) (Yusuf ibn Abd-Allah) (1185-1256). Preacher and historian. A grandson of ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Jawzi, he abandoned Hanbalism for Hanafism. He is the author of an expansive universal history. The work is of great value not only for his own period but also for the tenth through eleventh centuries because he preserved in extenso and without criticism the versions of sources which often no longer survive.
Yusuf ibn Abd-Allah, famously known as Sibt ibn al-Jawzi or Abu-Muzaffar, was a famous scholar. He was the grandson of the great Hanbali scholar Abul-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi who is known for his works such as A Great Collection of Fabricated Traditions (Arabic: Al-Mawdu'at al-Kubra) and the Provision of the Journey (Arabic:Zad Al-Maseer). His name "Sibt ibn al-Jawzi" denotes that he is the "Sibt" or grandson from his daughter, or his daughter's son (as opposed to the "hafeed" which is the grandson from the son, or the son's son.)
Yusuf is known to be Sunni. He followed the Hanafi school of jurisprudential thought. He was known for his high intellect and diligence in research.
Born in Baghdad, in his formative years he was raised on Hanbali educational materials, yet when his family moved to Mosul, Iraq, he began his Hanafi education. He was known for his book "Mir’at al-zaman" his famous work of history, that is reported to be forty volumes long in his own handwriting.
Yusuf died in Damascus, in his home atop Mount Qasiyun, and was buried there.
The works of Sibt ibn al-Jawzi include:
* "Mir’at al-zaman" was his famous work of history.
* The Defense and Advocacy of the True School of Law (Arabic: al-Intisar wa al-Tarjih li al-Madhhab al-Sahih) - in praise of Abu Hanifa and his school.

Ibn al-Jazzar
Ahmed Ben Jaafar Ben Brahim Ibn al-Jazzar al-Qayrawani (c. 895 – c. 979), was an influential 10th-century Muslim physician who became famous for his writings on Islamic medicine. He was born in Qayrawan in modern-day Tunisia. He was known in Europe by the Latinized name Algizar.
Ahmed Ben Jaafar Ben Brahim Ibn al-Jazzar al-Qayrawani (c. 895 – c. 979), was an influential 10th-century Muslim physician who became famous for his writings on Islamic medicine. He was born in Qayrawan in modern-day Tunisia. He was known in Europe by the Latinized name Algizar.
We know the biography of Ibn al-Jazzar only by an Andalusian physician Ibn Joljol and he only knew it by his student Ibn Bariq, who went to Qayrawan, Tunisia to learn medicine. The writers of Tabakates or "classes of famous men" generally considered writing only for Faquih, the benefactors and the saints. Thus, the information we have about Ibn al-Jazzar is second hand.
Ahmed Ben Jaafar Ben Brahim Ibn al-Jazzar was born in Qayrawan around 895, and died around 979. He had learned the Qu'ran at kuttab in his youth, and grammar, theology, fiqh and history at the mosque Okba Ibn Nafaa. Ibn al-Jazzar learned medicine from his father and his uncle that were physicians, and from Ishaq Ibn Suleiman (Isaac Ben Salomon), a physician in Qayrawan.
In the time of Ibn al-Jazzar, medical training was provided by the doctors themselves at home. This was the case with the education of Ibn al-Jazzar. He said himself in the conclusion of his book Zad al-Mussafir, he would be available at home for his students at the end of his daily consultations.
At that time, the medical teaching was oral. After all, paper was not widely spread in the ninth century, and scrolls were rare and expensive. Ibn Al Jazzar had a library rich of 25 quintals, as it seems. This figure seems exaggerated. The quintal at the time amounted to 50 kg according to some and 25 kg according to others. These books were not all about medicine, but also of other disciplines.
Ibn al-Jazzar wrote a number of books. They deal with grammar, history, jurisprudence, prosody, etc. Many of these books, quoted by different authors are lost. The most important book of Ibn al-Jazzar is Zad al-Mussafir (The Viaticum). Translated into Latin, Greek and Hebrew, it was copied, recopied, and printed in France and Italy in the sixteenth century. It was adopted and popularized in Europe as a book for a classical education in medicine.
Zad al-Mussafir is a medicine handbook from head to feet, designed for clinical teaching. In the text, the author names the disease, lists the known symptoms, gives the treatment and sometimes indicates the prognosis. He often cites in reference the names of foreign authors, as if to give importance to his subject, or for intellectual integrity to justify the loans.
One can not speak of Ibn al-Jazzar without mentioning the translator of his books: Constantine the African. Constantine translated Zad al-Mussafir, the Guide for the Traveller Going to Distant Countries (or Traveller's Provision), into Viaticum peregrinantis. Viaticum peregrinantis became a medieval bestseller. Viaticum peregrinantis was translated into Greek and Hebrew as Zedat ha-derachim, which helped propel the treatise to international bestseller and most read status.
Just as travellers today seek advice on how to handle all kinds of ailments on the road, travellers in medieval times also needed a reference book to see them through the bad times. Not only for travellers, Viaticum peregrinantis was a systematic and comprehensive medical work accepted into the so-called Articella or Ars medicinae, a compendium of medical textbooks widely used in medical schools and universities at Salerno, Montpellier, Bologna, Paris and Oxford. It contained remarkable descriptions of smallpox and measles.

It contained remarkable descriptions of smallpox and measles.
Ibn al-Jazzar also had other books on pediatrics, fevers, sexual disorders, medicine of the poor, therapeutics, stomach disorders, leprosy, separate drugs, compound drugs, and this is in addition to his books in other areas of science, e.g., history, animals and literature.
Ibn al-Jazzar died around 979 leaving 24,000 dinars and twenty-five quintars (about 2500 pounds) of books on medicine and other subjects. The legacy of Ibn al-Jazzar also included a treatise on women's diseases and their treatment. According to Ibn al-Jazzar, menstruation played a central role in maintaining women's health as well as in causing women's diseases. Such writings earned Ibn al-Jazzar immense fame and made him very influential in medieval western Europe.

Abu Bakr ibn Isa al-Dani, called Ibn al-Labbana ( 'the son of the milk') was a poet Andalusian born in Benissa (Taifa of Denia) in mid-eleventh century and died in the Taifa de Mallorca in 1113.

Ibn al-Muqaffa‘
Ibn al-Muqaffa‘ (‘Abd Allah ibn al-Muqaffa‘) (Abū-Muhammad Abd-Allāh Rūzbeh ibn Dādūya) (Abū-Muhammad Abd-Allāh Rūzbeh ibn Dādōē) (Ruzbeh pur-e Daduya) (720-756). Arabic author and translator of Persian origin. He was one of the first translators into Arabic of literary works of the Indian and Iranian civilizations, and one of the creators of Arabic literary prose. Under the title Kalila wa-Dimna, he translated into Arabic the Pahlavi version of the celebrated collection of Indian fables, which go back to the Pancatantra. He also translated from Pahlavi into Arabic a royal chronicle composed under the Sasanids, a picture of the institutions, customs and hierarchy of the court in the same period, and a biography of the Sasanian kings Khusraw Anushirwan (r. 531-579) and Khusraw (II) Parwiz (r. 579-628). Ibn al-Muqaffa‘ further composed one of the earliest “Mirror for Princes” and a series of reflections on certain political, religious and social problems, addressed to an unnamed caliph who without doubt is the ‘Abbasid al-Mansur. He probably is also the author of a Manichaean apologia. His works soon became classic in the great ‘Abbasid civilization and exerted a great influence on the following generations.
Abū-Muhammad Abd-Allāh Rūzbeh ibn Dādūya, mostly known as Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ, or Rūzbeh pūr-e Dādūya, was an 8th-century Persian thinker and a Zoroastrian convert to Islam.
Ibn al-Muqaffa's translation of the Kalīla wa Dimna from Middle Persian is considered the first masterpiece of Arabic literary prose. Ibn al-Muqaffa' was a pioneer in the introduction of literary prose narrative to Arabic literature. He paved the way for later innovators such as al-Hamadani and al-Saraqusti, who brought literary fiction to Arabic literature by adapting traditionally accepted modes of oral narrative transmission into literary prose. Ibn al-Muqaffa was also an accomplished scholar of Middle Persian, and was the author of several moral fables.
Ibn al-Muqaffa, though a resident of Basra, was originally from the town of Jur (or Gur) in the Iranian province of Fars. His father had been a state official in charge of taxes under the Umayyads, and after being accused and convicted of embezzling some of the money entrusted to him, was punished by the ruler by having his hand crushed, hence the name Muqaffa (shrivelled hand).
Ibn al-Muqaffa was murdered around 756 by the order of the second Abbasid caliph Abu Ja`far al-Mansur reportedly for heresy, in particular for attempting to import Zoroastrian ideas into Islam. There is evidence, though, that his murder may have been prompted by the caliph's resentment at the terms and language that Ibn al-Muqaffa had used in drawing up a guarantee of safe passage for the caliph's rebellious uncle, Abdullah bin Ali; the caliph found that document profoundly disrespectful to himself, and it is believed Ibn al-Muqaffa paid with his life for the affront to al-Mansur.
