The Nizamiyya Madrasa of Baghdad

Nizam al-Mulk's madrasa on the east bank of the Tigris, begun in 457/1065 and opened in 459/1067. Nishapur's Nizamiyya, where al-Juwayni taught, preceded it. Ibn al-Sabbagh gave Baghdad's opening lesson; Abu Ishaq al-Shirazi took over twenty days later. Endowed land, markets and shops supported teachers, students and staff under Shafi'i conditions.
