Rashid al-Din Vatvat
Rashid al-Din Muhammad Umar-i Vatvāt was a 12th-century Sunni Khwarezmian panegyrist and epistolographer. He was born in Balkh,.
Served at the court of Khwarazmshah Kings, although he should not be mistaken for a later physician by the name Amin al-Din Rashid al-Din Vatvat. While serving as court poet, it was through him that Atsiz ibn Muhammad boasted of the end of the Great Seljuq empire.
He also composed qasidehs, but his rhetorical work Hadā'iq al-sihr fi daqa'iq al-shi'r is in prose.
