<p class="pindent">Abū Sa‘id ibn Abī al-Khayr was a Persian mystic, born in Khurasan in 967/357. He spent most of his life in this province of Iran, dying there at the age of 82. He ultimately abandoned scholarly studies and devoted himself to extreme asceticism and mystic exercises. Numerous stories are related regarding his mystical experiences and his encounters with others, and a number of poems are attributed to him. In Nishapur he met Ibn Sīnā (<a href="#avicenna">Avicenna</a>), and correspondence between the two of them is preserved today.</p>

<p class="pindent">A<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>mad ibn Farrukh (or A<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>mad-i Farrukh, as his name was sometimes written) was the teacher of the physician <a href="bioJ.html#jurjani">Ismā‘īl ibn al-<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">Ḥ</font>usayn al-Jurjānī</a> (<a href="glossary.html#d">d.</a> 1136) and author of a Persian medicine encyclopaedia titled <em>Kifāyah</em> that is no longer extant though it had a high reputation among scholars long after al-Jurjānī's day. NLM has in its collection a formulary of compound remedies (<em>Qarābādhīn</em>) that appears to be the only preserved example of the writings of A<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>mad ibn Farrukh (<a href="pharmaceutics31.html">MS P 11, item 2</a>).</p>

|
<p class="pindent">A<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>mad ibn Farrukh's name was often written as A<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">ḥ</font>mad-i Farrukh. This reflects the Persian habit of replacing the Arabic <em>ibn</em> ('son of') with the grammatical structure of <em>idafa</em> or possessive. For this Persian custom of writing names, see Lutz Richter-Bernburg, 'Going Places with Naser-e Khosrow and his Translator', <em>Die Welt des Islam</em>, vol. 3 (1993), pp. 263-275.</p>

|

<p class="pindent">In Arabic and Persian literature Alexander the Great was known both as al-Iskandar and as Dhu al-Qarnayn ("the man with two horns"). The latter designation was used because he was identified with a person of this name mentioned in the <em>Qur'an</em> (Surah 18, verses 83-98), as builder of a barrier against the giants Gog and Magog, who were thought to reside in inner Asia. Alexander and his tutor <a href="bioA.html#aristotle">Aristotle</a> figure frequently in Arabic 'wisdom' (<em>hikmah</em>) literature. The discourse of Aristotle addressed to Alexander on the proper behaviour of a ruler formed the basis of the immensely popular <em>Sirr al-asrīr</em> or 'Secret of Secrets'. It was primarily as the hero of the 'Alexander romance' who travelled to the furthest ends of the earth that Alexander the Great is most conspicuous in Arabic and Persian literature.</p>
