Al-Muṭarrizī, al-Mughrib fī Tartīb al-Muʿrib المغرب في ترتيب المعرب للمُطَرِّزي
Al-Muṭarrizī al-Khawārizmī (d. 1213 CE / 610 AH) was a scholar of both the Arabic and
the Persian languages. Unlike many other scholars of the Islamic world, al-Muṭarrizī did not travel to seek learning. He
sought knowledge in his homeland of Khawārizm, which was one of the world's active centers of knowledge in his time. He
was born in the city in which al-Zamakhsharī died (al-Jurjānīya, modern day Urgench in Uzbekistan), causing him
to be called "al-Zamakhsharī's successor". His Mughrib is his
abbreviation of a larger linguistic work of his own, al-Muʿrib. Unlike other dictionaries, this dictionary
also concerns itself with proper knowns, such as the names of places, while also containing many Persian terms
that had entered usage in the Arabic of his time.
