Biographical notes

A scholar of Iranian origin who lived in the second half of the 13th century [1250-1300 CE]. His nisba denotes that his origin is in the region of Khūy (Iran) in north western Iran. According to some scholars, he was the son of the famous painter ʻAbd al-Muʼmin Khūʼī , fl. 13th c.عبدالمؤمن خويى, who was active first half of the 13th century [1200-1250 CE] and illustrated at least one of the folios in a manuscript Topkapi Sarayi, Hasine 841 of the Varka-u Gülşah (see (Özergin_1970)). Little is known about his early life and references to him only appear in his own writing produced under the Çobanid dynasty of Kastamonu İ li (Turkey) in North western Anatolia. He joined the court at some point before not after 1280 [-1280 CE] and appears to has been an active member of the Çobanid court until the early 14th century [1300-1350 CE]. Most of his works were written to be used in chancellery affairs and to leave a corpus that could be used by officials of the court such as epistolary manuals (inshāʾ) and Persian-Turkish and Arabic-Persian vocabularies. He dedicated some of these works to rulers of Kastamonu İ li (Turkey) and one to his own son Naṣr Allāh ibn Ḥusām al-Dīn Khūʼī , نصر الله بن حسام الدین خويى. The place and date of his dead are unknown but appears to have been active during the early years of the 14th century [1300-1350 CE] century.
