)Abū Saʿīd ʿAbd-al-Ḥayy ibn Żaḥḥāk b. Maḥmūd Gardīzī (
Persian[1] historian and official, who is notable for having written the Zayn al-akhbar, one of the earliest history books written in New Persian.[2]
Little is known of Gardizi personally. He was probably from
al-Biruni, since the Zayn al-akbar contains information concerning Indian festivals.[4]
