Jaghmini

A manuscript of al-Mulakhkhas fi al-hay'ah written in Arabic by al-Jaghmini (from a private collection).

Mahmud ibn Muhammad ibn Umar Jaghmini, or al-Jaghmini was a 14th-century Persian physician. He was born at Jaghmin, a village in Khwarezm (Khiva), current day Uzbekistan.

Little is known of his life.It proved so popular as to become the subject of commentaries, and several attempts were made to set the Qanunshah in verse.

There is considerable testimony to its being used in schools for teaching medicine in the eastern provinces of the Islamic world. He surely studied books of Euclid and other greek scientist.There are some explanations for his compilations by two of his contemporaneous scientists,Ghazi Zade Roomi and Mir seyed Sharif Gorgani .

Compilation

He is known only through his very short epitome of The Canon of Medicine by Avicenna that was written in Persian and titled Qanunshah.

Death

It is not clear when he died. Some say he died in 1344. Others give the date 1221 in accordance with another treatise titled al-Mulakhkhas fi al-hay'ah (Compendium of the Science of Astronomy) by an author with the same name.
