SUYUTI [Abu-1 Fadhl'Abd ur-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr Jalal ud-Din us-Suyuti] (14451505)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 173 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SUYUTI [Abu-1 Fadhl'Abd ur-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr Jalal ud-Din us-Suyuti] (14451505) , Arabian encyclopaedic writer, was the son of a Turkish slave woman. His father, who was of Persian descent, had been
cadi
  in Suyut (Upper Egypt) and professor in Cairo, but died before his son was six years old. The boy's training was taken in hand by a Sufi friend of the father. He was precocious and is said to have known the Koran by heart before he was eight years old: In 1462 he was already a teacher; in 1464 he made the
pilgrimage
  to Mecca; in 1472 he became a professor, and in 1486 was promoted to a chair in the mosque of Bibars. Here, however, he provoked a revolt among the students and in 15oi was discharged for maladministration of trust funds. Two years later he was offered the same post again, but declined, and worked in seclusion at Raucla, an island of the Nile, and there died in 1505. He was one of the most prolific writers of the
East
 , though many of his works are only pamphlets and some are mere abridgments of the
work
  of others.
We know of 561
separate
  titles of his works, and over 316 exist in manuscript. A
list
  of these is given in C. Brockelmann's Gesch. der Arabischen Litteratur, ii. 144158 (Berlin, 1902). They deal with almost every branch of Moslem science and literature. Among the best known are the Itgan fi `Ulum ul-Quran ( on the exegetic sciences of the Koran), published with an
analysis
  by A.
Sprenger
  (Calcutta, 18521854) and often in Cairo; the commentary on the Koran, known as the Tafsir ul-Jalalain, begun by Jalfil ud-Din ul-Mahalli (13891459) and finished by Suyuti, published often in the
East
 ; and the history of the caliphs, published at Calcutta (1858) and elsewhere. (G. W. T.)
