Overview

Nuh ibn Nasr al-Samani. According to Ibn al-Nadim's "al-Fihrist", his father Nasr ibn Ahmad had died after entering the mission of al-Nasafi. Nuh gathered the jurists and brought al-Nasafi, and they debated with him. Then al-Nasafi and the chiefs of the missionaries and notables were killed, among them some of Nasr's commanders who had entered the mission 2.

The years of his birth and death are not recorded in the museum's data; an additional source is needed.

Tarikh-i Bukhara

The Tarikh-i Bukhara is a history of Bukhara written in Arabic by Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ja'far al-Narshakhi and presented to the Samanid amir Nuh ibn Nasr in 332/943-4; it is his only known book. The Persian text we have, the article says, is much altered from its original form: al-Qubawi translated it in 522/1128 and brought it down to 365/975-6, Muhammad ibn Zufar abridged and expanded it in 574/1178-9, and an unknown author added the Mongol conquest. The Encyclopaedia of Islam calls it very valuable for the early Islamic history of Central Asia and for the Tahirid and Samanid periods.
