Al-Maidānī, Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad
[raw]?
[Died] October 27, 1124. Nishapur Iranian linguist. He made great contributions to the study of proverbs and maxims that were transmitted to Arabia from ancient times. He was born in Maidan Ziyad, a district of Nishapur. His main work was the collection of proverbs from ancient Arabia, Majma` al-amthāl, to which he added appropriate annotations. Many proverbs and maxims have unclear meanings, but this work sheds light on many points about ancient Arabian culture, especially the meaning of poetry from that time. He also wrote an Arabic-Persian dictionary and other linguistic works.
