Sha'ya ibn Farighun

Shaʿyā ibn Farīghūn (Arabic: شعيا بن فريغون) was a Muslim writer active in the Emirate of Čaghāniyān in the 10th century. He wrote a short but comprehensive encyclopaedia in Arabic entitled Jawāmiʿ al-ʿulūm ("Connections of the Sciences"), which he dedicated to the Muḥtājid emir Abū ʿAlī Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Muẓaffar, who died in 955.[1] He may also have written the Ḥodud al-ʿālam ("Limits of the World"), a geographical text in Persian.[2]
