Talk:Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani

Merger with Abu Bakr al-Jurjani
It's been suggested that this and the above article be merged. To my understanding, they are actually two different people - notice the bibliographies don't match - although contemporaries. We could do with having an expert clarify this, though. — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   21:25, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm certain that this is just one individual. I'll refer to the two articles abbreviating their titles with as ABJ and AQJ. Consider
 * the full names are identical apart from the usual spelling variants (and mistakes) and the inclusion of "bin Muhammad", giving his grandfather's name, in AQJ only;
 * the death date of 1078 AD given in ABJ is identical to 471 AH as given in AQJ;
 * Kitab ul-'Awdmil ul-Mi'a, given in ABJ is the same (apart from spelling variants and mistakes) as Al-'Awamel al-Mi'ah given in AQJ;
 * Kitab Jumal fin-Nahw, given in ABJ must be the same as Al-Jumal given in AQJ;
 * Asrar al Balagha, given in AQJ, is referred to in my more recent Britannica, where the article is nearly identical to ABJ.
 * The merger should take place SamuelTheGhost (talk) 22:30, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool! Glad to be set straight. Go for it. — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   22:55, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
