'''Jurjani''', the name of two Arabic scholars.
== Grammarians==
'''Abu Bakr 'Abd ul Qahir ibn 'Abdur-Rahman Uljurjani''' (d. [[1078]]), [[Arabia]]n [[grammar]]ian, belonged to the Persian school and wrote a famous grammar, the ''Kitab ul-'Awdmil ul-Mi'a'' or ''Kitab Mi'at 'Amil'', which was edited by [[Erpenius]] (Leiden, 1617), by Baillie (Calcutta, 1803), and by A Lockett (Calcutta, 1814).
Ten Arabic commentaries on this work exist in manuscript, also two Turkish. It has been versified five times and translated into [[Persian language|Persian]]. Another of his grammatical works on which several commentaries have been written is the ''Kitab Jumal fin-Nahw''. For other works see [[Carl Brockelmann]]'s ''Gesch. der Arabischen Litteratur'' (1898), i.288.
== Encyclopaedist ==
'''Ali ibn Mahommed ul-Jurjani''' ([[1339]] – [[1414]]), [[Arabia]]n encyclopaedic writer, was born near [[Astarabad]] and became professor in [[Shiraz, Iran|Shiraz]]. When this city was plundered by [[Timur]] (1387) he removed to [[Samarkand]], but returned to Shiraz in 1405, and remained there until his death.
Of his thirty-one extant works, many being commentaries on other works, one of the best known is the ''Ta'rifdt'' (Definitions), which was edited by [[Gustav Leberecht Flügel|G Flügel]] (Leipzig, 1845), published also in Constantinople (1837), Cairo (1866, etc.), and St Petersburg (1897).
