Aḥmad bin Muḥammad bin Ibrāhīm bin Abū Bakr ibn KhallikānШаблон:Efn[1] (Шаблон:Lang-ar; 22 September 1211 – 30 October 1282), better known as Ibn Khallikān, was a renowned Islamic historian who compiled the celebrated biographical encyclopedia of Muslim scholars and important men in Muslim history, Deaths of Eminent Men and the Sons of the Epoch ('Wafayāt al-Aʿyān wa-Anbāʾ Abnāʾ az-Zamān').[2] Due to this achievement, he is regarded as the most eminent writer of biographies in Islamic history.[3]

Life

Ibn Khallikān was born in Erbil on 22 September 1211 (11 Rabī’ al-Thānī, 608), into a respectable family that claimed descent from Barmakids,[1] an Iranian dynasty of Balkhi origin.[4]

His primary studies took him from Arbil, to Aleppo and to Damascus,[5] before he took up jurisprudence in Mosul and then in Cairo, where he settled.[6] He gained prominence as a jurist, theologian and grammarian.[6] An early biographer described him as "a pious man, virtuous, and learned; amiable in temper, in conversation serious and instructive. His exterior was highly prepossessing, his countenance handsome and his manners engaging."[7]

He married in 1252[6] and was assistant to the chief judge in Egypt until 1261, when he assumed the position of chief judge in Damascus.[5] He lost this position in 1271 and returned to Egypt, where he taught until being reinstated as judge in Damascus in 1278.[5] He retired in 1281[6] and died in Damascus on 30 October 1282 (Saturday, 26th of Rajab 681).[5]
