[153] _Shamsiyah_, “the sun’s course, ecliptic,” is the title of a treatise composed upon logic by _Nagmeddin Ali Ben Omar al Kazvíní_, who was a disciple of Nusir-eddin al-Túsí. The said work is dedicated to _Khogiah Shams-eddîn Muhammed_, perhaps one of the twelve princes called _Sarbedarian_, who reigned thirty-five years in the town of _Sebzvar_, in Khorassan, and in other places which they had conquered.――(Herbelot.) [154] _Maibed_ is a town of Persia, the native place of _Kází Mir Hossaín Ibn Mâyin eddin_, above-mentioned. He is one of the commentators of the work above quoted, which is divided into three parts, comprising logic, physiology, and theology, and was composed by the Shaikh _Asir eddin Mifazzel_, son of _Omar al Abheri_. The author died in the year of the Hejira 660 (A. D. 1261). [155] The author of _Hikmet al âin_ was _Najem eddin Abu ’l Hassan Ali_, son of _Muhammed_, surnamed _Dabiran al Katebí al Kazvíni_. He was a disciple of the celebrated Nasir-eddin Tusi, and died in the year of the Hejira 675 (A. D. 1276). [156] We find, in the Bibliographical Dictionary of _Haji Khalfa_, several titles of books beginning by the word _Tajerid_. [157] There exists a work entitled _Isháret_, composed by _Asir-eddin Mifazzel_, before-mentioned. [158] The _Tazkerah_ was written by Nasir-eddin Tusi. [159] The _Mutavel_ denotes a Commentary, the author of which is _Sâad-eddin Taftarani_ (or “Tagtarani,” according to Herbelot), upon the work _Meftah al alúm_, “the Key of Sciences,” and which is entitled _Talkhís al Meftah_, “Explanation of the Key.” [160] Baizaví is the surname of _Nasir eddin Abu Said Abdalla Ben Omar_, a native of the town _Baizah_, in the province of _Fars_, about forty-five miles distant from _Shiraz_. He was a _Kází_, “judge,” of the last-named town, from which he passed to _Tauris_, where he died in the year of the Hejira 685 or 692 (A. D. 1286 or 1292). He composed a literal Commentary in two volumes upon the Koran. [161] Here a play upon a name is omitted: جون كامران بہ تجرد کامران است: as Kámrán, in business, is _Kámrán_,“fortunate.” CHAPTER XII.
