Jamal al-Din Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Fakhr al-Din al-Razi[1] (Persian: جمالالدین محمد بن محمد آقسرایی) (died 1379), also written al-Aqsara'i, was a 14th-century Muslim Iranian[1] physician. He became known as Aqsara'i because he moved to Aqsara region of what is now Turkey.[1]
He is known for his commentary on the Mujaz, which was an epitome made in the 13th century by Ibn al-Nafis of The Canon of Medicine of Avicenna.
Al-Aqsara'i studied medicine with his father, under whose tutelage he first read the Mujaz. Thereafter he studied The Canon of Medicine itself, as well as the Hawi by
Najib al-Din al-Samarqandi. He employed these other treatises in his commentary on the Mujaz, and he titled his commentary "The Key to the Mujaz
" (Hall al-Mujaz).
He died in 1379.
