• Quṭb al-Din Shīrāzī (1236-1311 AD), the Persian polymath had great contributions to the fields of philosophy, mathematics, medicine, astronomy, music, literature, and Islamic studies. He lived during the Ilkhanid kingdom in Iran. He wrote an autobiography in the preface of his medical manuscript, al-Tuḥfa al-Sa‘dīya. He discussed his views on science and then, he explained his life story, in particular his education and contribution to science. He mentioned the reasons that led him to write al-Tuḥfa al-Sa‘dīya, his main medical work. As a great polymath, he traveled to many countries, and his words cleared the scientific atmosphere of 14th century AD. Also, he directly introduced his teachers and their abilities and works. Furthermore, scientists who worked on the Canon of Medicine had commentaries on this book, which were comprehensively introduced in this autobiography. Quṭb al-Din Shīrāzī (1236. – 1311.), perzijski homo universalis dao je velik doprinos u području filozofije, matematike, medicine, astronomije, glazbe, književnosti i islamskih studija. Živio je za vrijeme Ilhanidskog kraljevstva u Iranu. U predgovoru svoga medicinskog rukopisa al-Tuḥfa al-Sa‘dīya napisao je autobiografiju. Promišljao je o svojim pogledima na znanost, a zatim objasnio svoju životnu priču, posebno svoje obrazovanje i doprinos znanosti. Spomenuo je razloge zbog kojih je napisao al-Tuḥfa al-Sa‘dīya, svoje glavno medicinsko djelo. Kao veliki homo universalis putovao je u mnoge zemlje i svojim je riječima razjasnio znanstveno ozračje 14. stoljeća. Izravno je predstavio svoje učitelje i njihove sposobnosti i djela. Znanstvenici koji su radili na Kanonu medicine imali su komentare na tu knjigu, a ti komentari su sveobuhvatno uvedeni u al-Tuḥfa al-Sa‘dīya.
