Overview
Abu'l-Hasan al-Bakharzi, the chief littérateur 'Ali b. al-Hasan b. Abi'l-Tayyib — author of Dumyat al-qasr wa-'usrat ahl al-'asr, a continuation of al-Tha'alibi's Yatimat al-dahr gathering a great host; a head in letter-writing, composition and poetry, he worked at Shafi'i fiqh in his youth, kept Abu Muhammad al-Juwayni's lessons then frequented the diwan of epistles — his adab outshone his fiqh, so he was famed for adab; his diwan a large volume mostly of fine quality. Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali b. Zayd wrote on the Dumya a book he called Wishah al-dumya; Bakharz is a district of Nishapur. Al-Bakharzi was killed in al-Andalus, his blood spilled unavenged, in 467. 1
