Persian family native to the Juvayn area in Khorasan, Iran
The Juvayni family was a
Persian family native to the
Juvayn area in
Khorasan. The most famous members were
Shams al-Din Juvayni (d. 1284) and his elder brother
Ata-Malik Juvayni (d. 1283). The family was known for patronizing many scholars and poets, such as
Saadi Shirazi and
Nasir al-Din al-Tusi.
The family claimed ancestry from
al-Fadl ibn al-Rabi' (d. 823/4), who had served in high offices under the
Abbasid
caliph
Harun al-Rashid (
r. 786–809). The family worked for many different dynasties during its heyday, such as the
Ziyarids,
Seljuks,
