Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2024
This chapter focuses on several short biographies excerpted from Persian Shīʿī biographical dictionary Rayḥānat al-Adab fī Tarājim al-Maʿrūfīn bi-l-Kunyā wa-l-Laqab (‘The Sweet Basil of Learning, concerning the biographies - tarājim - of the well-known, ordered by teknonym and nickname’) by the modern author Mīrzā Muḥammad Mudarris Khayābānī (d. 1373/1954). The work as a whole contains 4,624 biographies, arranged, alphabetically, but also by the various naming methods in Arabic. The selection presented in this chapter provides the reader with examples of unremarkable biographical entries, in the sense that the scholars are not controversial or problematic for the tradition in the view of the biographer.
