Information AboutAl-khujandi |
|
The few facts about al-Khujandi's life that are known come from both his surviving writings and comments made by Nasir Al-din Al-Tusi . From al-Tusi's comments it is fairly certain that al-Khujandi was one of the rulers of the Mongol tribe in the Khudzhand region, and thus must have come from the Nobility . Khujandi worked under the patronage of the Buwayhid Amirs of Ray, where he is known to have constructed a huge Sextant in 994 AD. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
