Notes

According to Ṭāshkubrīʹzādah, Aḥmad ibn Muṣṭafá,‏ 1495-1561 تشکبري زاده، أحمد بن مصطفى, Fīrūzābādī, Muḥammad ibn Yaʻqūb,‏ ‎ 1329-1414 or 1415‏ فيرزوأبادي، محمد بن يعقوبmigrated to Anatolia and entered the service of sultan Bayezid‏ I,‏ Sultan of the Turks,‏ approximately 1360-1403‏. He also received patronage from Timur,‏ ‎ 1336-1405‏, and then travelled widely. He wrote on language, hadith and tafsir, and was considered one of the outstanding scholars of the eighth/fourteenth century. He is best known for his Arabic dictionary, al-Qāmūs al-Muḥīṭ. To date, no works composed by Fīrūzābādī, Muḥammad ibn Yaʻqūb,‏ ‎ 1329-1414 or 1415‏ فيرزوأبادي، محمد بن يعقوب in Anatolia have been identified. His main patron appears to have been the amir of Taʻizz in Yemen, al-Malik al-Ashraf Ismā‘īl b. ‘Abbās, to whom he dedicated several works. His inclusion by Ṭāshkubrīʹzādah, Aḥmad ibn Muṣṭafá,‏ 1495-1561 تشکبري زاده، أحمد بن مصطفى among the scholars of Bayezid‏ I,‏ Sultan of the Turks,‏ approximately 1360-1403‏’s reign must be regarded as somewhat suspect in view of its apparent lack of support from other sources, and is perhaps a typical attempt by this author to promote the prestige of the Ottoman house by associating prominent contemporary ‘ulama with then. Nevertheless, the al-Qāmūs al-Muḥīṭ was extremely widely read in the Ottoman lands.
