- Biographical notes
- Ḥubaysh al-Tiflīsī was court physician, head astronomer (munajjim), and religious scholar at the Anatolian Seljuk court during much of the reign of Kılıç Arslan II, Sultan of the Seljuks, -1192. Before migrating to Anatolia sometime around or before 544 AH [1150 CE], al-Tiflisī left his native land of Tiflis for Baghdad, perhaps following the Georgian reconquest of his hometown in 1121 [1121 CE], and settled in Baghdad. He completed his first work, Qānūn-i Adab, in Anatolia in 544 AH [1150 CE]. In 1186 [1186 CE] he was dismissed from the Seljuk court as the result of an erroneous prediction forecasting a great flood. He authored around two dozen works in Arabic and Persian. While many of his works deal with medicine and materia medica, he wrote on a variety of topics, including Qurʾanic exegesis, lexicography, dream interpretation, astrology and meterology with apocalyptic themes. Iranian scholars point out that that his Persian works are composed in the Shirvani dialect. There has been confusion regarding the exact rendering of his name due to variations found in the manuscripts of his extant works. Although Kātib Çelebī gives his death date as 629 AH [1232 CE] and Carl Brockelmann as 600 AH [1203 CE], the former date seems implausible, and the latter remains unsubstantiated.

- Notes
- This substantial Arabic-Persian dictionary aims at clarifying ambiguities in Arabic and, as a way to facilitate the search for rhymes, is organized according to the final letter in sections (qiṭāʿ), and subdivided into nine parts (nawʿ) according to voweling and secondly into groups according to word length. It consists of two parts, the second of which deals with prosody and metre (wazn). The author cites over fifty different works that he drew upon, including Zamakhsharī’s Muqaddimat al-adab, Abū Manṣūr al-Saʿālibī’s Fiqh al-lugha, Ibn al-Sikkīt’s Kitāb al-Alfāẓ, Quṭrūb’s al-Muthallath, al-Harīrī’s al-Muqāmāt, Sharḥ al-Khamāsa and Sabiṭ ṭiwāl (for a complete list see Blochet and Rieu). This is one of the most copied of all of Tiflisi’s works, and remained popular throughout the Ottoman period; it was praised by Kātib Çelebī as having no equal. It was translated into Ottoman Turkish by Mustaḳīmzāde Saʿdeddīn Süleymān b. Muḥammed Emīn.
