Abu Esmail Moayed-o-din Togharayi
Abu Ismail Muiddin Hussein ibnul Ali Isfahani Togharayi was a Persian poet and scholar of the Seljuq period. He was born in Isfahan, Iran in 1045 A.D.
He had mastered all sciences of his time, and he also wrote some books about alchemy, such as:
- Jame-ol-asrar
- Trakib-ol-anvar
- Masabih-ol-hekmat va Mafatih-ol-rahmat
- Haghaegh-ol-esteshhadat
- Zat-ol-faraed
- Alrad Ali-ebn-e-sina fi Ebtal-el-kimia
Togharayi wrote a book of poems, the best known of which is Lamiyat al-Ajam . Togharayi wrote Lamiyyat al-Ajam as a response to the celebrated pre-Islamic poem Lāmiyyāt al-‘Arab. Lamiyyat al-Ajam was later the subject of an encyclopedic 14th-century commentary by Al-Safadi, entitled Al-Ghayth al-Musajam fi Sharh Lamiyyat-Ajam.
