NAWAWI [ABU ZAIARIYYA IBN SHARAF UN-NAWAWI (I233-1278), Arabian writer, was born at Nawa near Damascus. In the latter city he studied from his eighteenth year, and there, after making the
pilgrimage
  in 1253, he settled as a private scholar until 1267, when he succeeded Abu Shama as professor of tradition at the Ashrafiyya school. He died at Nawa from overwork.
His
manual
  of Moslem law according to the Shafi'ite school has been edited with French
translation
  by van den Bergh, 2 vols., Batavia (1882-1884), and published at Cairo (1888). The Tandhib ul-Asma'i has been edited as the Biographical Dictionary of Illustrious Men chiefly at the Beginning of
Islam
  by F. Wiistenfeld (Gottingen, 1842-1847). The Tagrib wa Taisir, an introduction to the study of tradition, was published at Cairo, 189o, with Suyuti's commentary. It has been in
part
  translated into French by M. Marcais in the
Journal
  asiatique,
series
  ix., vols. 16-i8 (1900-19o1). Nawawi's collection of the
forty
  (actually
forty
 -two)
chief
  traditions has been frequently published with commentaries in Cairo. For other works see C. Brockelmann's Gesch. der arabischen Litteratur, vol. i. (
Weimar
 , 1898), PP. 395-397. (G. W. T.)
