زنجفر



زُنْجُفْرٌ A certain dye, [or pigment,] well known, (K,) of a red colour, with which one writes as well as dyes; [namely, cinnabar:] its virtue is similar to that of white lead; or, as some say, of شَادَنْج [a kind of stone, used medicinally, from the Persian شَادْنَهْ]: it is of two kinds, native and factitious: the native is [formed by] the transition of a sulphureous substance into quicksilver: [it is a sulphureous ore of quicksilver:] the factitious [is what is called vermilion, and] is of various sorts. (TA.)
زنجفر
: (الزُّنْجُفْر، بالضَّمّ: صِبْغٌ، م) ، أَي مَعْرُوف، وَهُوَ أَحمرُ يَكتَب بِهِ ويُصْبَغ، قُوَّتُه كقُوّة الإِسْفِيداجِ، وَقيل: قُوَّة الشارنج، وَهُوَ مَعْدَنِيّ ومَصْنُوعٌ. أَما المَعْدنيّ فَهُوَ استِحالَة شَيْءٍ من الكِبْرِيت إِلى مَعْدَنِ الزِّئبق، وأَما المَصْنُوع فأَنواعٌ، وَلَيْسَ هاذا مَحَلّه.
وأَبو عَبْد الله مُحَمَّد بنُ عُبَيد الله بن أَحمدَ البَغْدَادِيّ الزُّنْجُفْرِيّ، نُسِبَ إِلى عَمَلِهِ: شاعرٌ حَسَنُ القَوْلِ، مَاتَ سنة 342.
