WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF SHARH AL-ADWAR? SAYYID SHARIF JURJANI OR IBN MUBARAKSHAH?

Abstract

ABSTRACT The subject of the article is about some evidence showing that the author of the Sharh al-Adwar, which has two copies (TSMK A3458 and British Or., nr. 2361), is Sayyid Sharif Jurjani (d. 816/1413). Evidence described in the text of the paper is summarized here following. 1-The Persian naming of the Arabic work in the second copy dated 1662 was written later, “Sharh-i Mevlana Mubarakshah ber Adwar” is not the real name of the work. 2-Ibn Mubarakshah, one of the two people alleged about the author of the Sharh al-Adwar, did not come to Anatolia; The second person, Jurjani, stayed for a while in Anatolia, where he came in 1368. 3-There are some influences from Anatolian music culture in the work, these influences show the geographical region and the author of the work. 4-Jurjani met firstly with Shah Shuja probably in 1375, the ruler of Shiraz, to whom the adwar was dedicated; Ibn Mubarakshah did not meet him. 5-With the "al-jadwal al-mubarak" in the work, Jurjani pointed to his teacher. Thanks to this work, Jurjani showed Shah Shuja that he had completed all sciences, including medicine. 6-Sharh al-Adwar influenced the Central Asian music theorist Alishah except for the Anatolia where Jurjani lived. There is no other adwar in Egypt that shows the effect of Sharh al-Adwar. With the summarized evidence, it has been claimed as a result of the article that the author of the Sharh al-Adwar, which was presented to Shah Shuja in 1375, was Sayyid Sharif Jurjani.
