Mahmud of Hasankeyf

Nāṣir al-Dīn Maḥmūd (ruled 1201–1222) was a ruler of the Hasankeyf of the Artuqid dynasty. He was a son of Nūr al-Dīn Muḥammad (1174–1185).

He is particularly known to have commisionned an edition of the Al-Jāmi‘ fī ṣinā‘at al-ḥiyal of Ibn al-Razzaz al-Jazari, devoted to the depiction of mechanical devices in 1206 Amid (modern-day Diyarbakır), in modern Turkey. The miniatures are thought to reflect various aspects of the Artuqid court at the time.
