IBN KHALLIKAN [Abu-I `Abbas Ahmad ibn Khallikan] (1211-1282)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 222 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IBN KHALLIKAN [Abu-I `Abbas Ahmad ibn Khallikan] (1211-1282) , Arabian biographer, was born at
Arbela
 , the son of a professor reputed to be ascended from the Barmecides of the court of Harun al-Rashid. When eighteen he went to Aleppo, where he studied for six years, then to Damascus, and in 1238 to Alexandria and Cairo. In 1252 he married and became
chief
 
cadi
  of Syria in Damascus in 1261. Having held this office for ten years, he was professor in Cairo until 1278, when he again took office in Damascus for three years. In 1281 he accepted a professorship in the same city, but died in the following year.
His
great
 
work
  is the Kitab Wafayat ul-A`ydn, " The Obituaries of Eminent Men." It contains in alphabetical order the lives of the most celebrated persons of Moslem history and literature, except those of
Mahomet
 , the four caliphs and the companions of
Mahomet
  and their followers (the Tdbiun). The
work
  is anecdotal and contains many brief extracts from the poetry of the writers. It was published by F. Wiistenfeld (Gottingen, 1835-1843), in part by McG. de Slane (Paris, 18381842), and also in Cairo (1859 and 1882). An English
translation
  by McG. de Slane was published for the Oriental
Translation
  Fund in 4 vols. (London, 1842-1871). Thirteen extra
biographies
  from a
manuscript
  in
Amsterdam
  were published by Pijnappel (
Amsterdam
 , 1845). A Persian translation exists in
manuscript
 , and various extracts from the work are known. Several supplements to the book have been written, the best known being that of Mahommed ibn Shakir (d. 1362), published at Cairo 1882. A collection of poems by Ibn Khallikan is also extant. (G. W. T.)
