Maqsud-Ali Tabrizi

Maqsud Ali Tabrizi was a 17th-century Iranian physician in Mughal India.

As indicated by his nisba, he was from Tabriz. He was a translator who worked at the request of the Mughal emperor Jahangir (who ruled 1605–1627 CE).

He translated Arabic treatises into Persian, including the Arabic treatise on the lives and sayings of 34 pre-Islamic and 77 post-Islamic scholars and physicians, that were composed by al-Shahrazuri in 1282 CE.

According to some biographical sources, Tabrizi was a Sufi scholar who nonetheless became an influential figure at the court of the governor of Gujarat, whom he served many years before enemies intrigued against him and he was imprisoned in the fortress of Gwalior.
