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,[3] an Iranian dynasty of Balkhi origin.[6]
His primary studies took him from Arbil, to Aleppo and to Damascus,[7] before he took up jurisprudence in Mosul and then in Cairo, where he settled.[8] He gained prominence as a jurist, theologian and grammarian.[8] 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."[9]
He married in 1252[8] and was assistant to the chief judge in Egypt until 1261, when he assumed the position of chief judge in Damascus.[7] He lost this position in 1271 and returned to Egypt, where he taught until being reinstated as judge in Damascus in 1278.[7] He retired in 1281[8] and died in Damascus on 30 October 1282 (Saturday, 26th of Rajab 681).[7]
