Nizam al-Din al-Nisapuri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nizam al-Din Hasan al-Nisaburi (d. 1328/29) (in Persian: نظام الدین حسن نیشاپوری) was a Persian Sunni[1][2][3] Islamic scholar, mathematician, astronomer, jurist, Qur'an exegete, and poet. His full name was Nizam al-Din Hasan ibn Mohammad ibn Hossein Qumi Nishapuri.[citation needed] As the genealogy in his full name shows, his grandfather was originally from the city of Qom but Nizam was born in Nishapur.[citation needed]

His early education was in the city of Nishapur but he later moved to Tabriz, the capital of Il-Khanids at the time.[citation needed] He studied under and worked with Qutb al-Din Shirazi, who was himself a student of Nasir al-Din Tusi. He was one of the great scientists of Maragheh observatory.[citation needed]
