Summary
In 428/1036 Abu Ishaq al-Shirazi's long teaching career began, first in various mosques of Baghdad and then, from 459/1066, in the Nizamiyya madrasa built for him by Nizam al-Mulk; the biographers portray him as gentle, refined and affable, living a life of asceticism, and 'a lion of the disputatio' 1.
