About Ibn 'Adi al-Jurjani and his book

[edit]

The death date of Ibn 'Adi al-Jurjani in this wikipedia page is given as 277 Hijri. But in this link, it is written that he was born on 277 Hijri and died on 375 Hijri: https://www.sifatusafwa.com/en/manufacturer/al-hafidh-ibn-adiyy-365h


Furthermore, it is claimed that Al-Dhahabi wrote his book Mizan al-Itidal from Ibn 'Adi al-Jurjani's book. The reference is Al-Dhahabi's another book. This is a very weak and questionable claim for such a serious topic. So more citation is needed from other sources to make this claim stronger; that indeed Al-Dhahabi wrote only the things Ibn 'Adi al-Jurjani wrote in the earlier book, an Al-Dhahabi did not add or delete any part of his own.
