text: Nūr al-Dīn 'Alī ibn Dā'ūd al-Jawharī al-Sayrafī, whose name is variously shortened to al-Jawhari or al-Sayrafi, was a 15th-century Egyptian author and copyist who lived from 1416 to about 1495. He came from a modest background - his father was a money changer in the Mamluk bureaucracy. He was a student of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, who encouraged him to take up writing. Ali's works are the earliest examples of the late-15th-century "Cairo narrative style", which combined formal styles with colloquia
