Abú 'l-Faraji al-Ifaānī (English spelling)

Arab literary figure. Famous for his edited work, "Aghani." Born in Isfahan, Persia, he was a true Arab, a member of the Quraysh, the venerable Meccan inhabitants linked to Muhammad (Mahomet), and a descendant of Marwan, the last pope of the Umayyad dynasty. He grew up in Baghdad and devoted himself to studying Arab classics. In his later years, he received support from Muizz ad-Dawla, a minister of the Buyid dynasty, and the king of Andalusia (southern Spain).
