Abu Nasr Isma'il ibn Hammad al-Jawhari or al-Jauhari (died 1002 or 1008) was the author of a notable Arabic dictionary. He was born in the city of Farab a.k.a. Otrar in Turkestan (in today's southern Kazakhstan). He studied Arabic language first in Baghdad and then among the Arabs of the Hejaz. Then he settled in northern Khorasan. He died at Nishapur while attempting flight from the roof of a mosque, possibly inspired by an earlier glider flight by Abbas Ibn Firnas.

- Abu Nasr Isma'il ibn Hammad al-Jawhari or al-Jauhari (died 1002 or 1008) was the author of a notable Arabic dictionary. He was born in the city of Farab a.k.a. Otrar in Turkestan (in today's southern Kazakhstan). He studied Arabic language first in Baghdad and then among the Arabs of the Hejaz. Then he settled in northern Khorasan. He died at Nishapur while attempting flight from the roof of a mosque, possibly inspired by an earlier glider flight by Abbas Ibn Firnas. His great work is the Arabic dictionary entitled Taj al-Lugha wa Sihah al-Arabiya, "The Crown of Language and the Correct Arabic", also known by the shorter titles al-Sihah fi al-Lugha, "The Correct Language", and al-Sihah. It contains about 40000 dictionary entries. He wrote it when living in Nishapur. It is told that he had not completed it at his death and it was completed by a student. Al-Jawhari put the words into an alphabetical order under which the last letter of a word's root is the first ordering criterion. Al-Sihah is one of the main Arabic dictionaries of the medieval era. Moreover much of its material was incorporated into later Arabic dictionaries compiled by others. A number of abridgements of it, as well as expansions of it, were produced in Arabic over the centuries. A fully searchable online edition is at Baheth. info. Most of it was copied into the huge 13th century dictionary compilation Lisan al-Arab, which is also online at Baheth. info. An edition was begun by E. Scheidius with a Latin translation, but one part only appeared at Harderwijk (1776). The whole has been published at Tabriz (1854) and at Cairo (1865), and many abridgments and Persian translations have appeared. In 1729 its dictionary entries formed the basis for an Arabic-to-Turkish dictionary that was the first book printed using printing press by Ibrahim Muteferrika in Ottoman era.
- Ismail ibn Hammad al-Jawhari foi um sábio e lexicógrafo turco muçulmano de Farab. Estudou árabe em Hijaz, mudando-se para Nishapur, onde começou a escrever seu livro al-Sihah. Em 1729, a obra foi traduzida para turco, sendo o primeiro livro impresso em papel usando a prensa móvel de Ibrahim Muteferrika na era Otomana. De acordo com registros históricos, Jawhari tentou voar usando duas asas de madeira e uma corda. Ele pulou do teto de uma mesquita em Nishapur e flutuou por algum tempo, antes de adentrar em uma queda mortal. Outros estudiosos, no entanto, afirmam que ele simplesmente caiu do telhado de sua casa por acidente.
