Ibn Khallikan's Biographical Dictionary, or Deaths of Eminent Men and History of the Sons of the Epoch, was the noted Arabic scholar Ibn Khallikan's most well-known and respected work. The author worked on the tome from 1256 to 1274, compiling names, genealogies, and histories of prominent or conspicuous men in the Islamic world. The final work was translated into English by William MacGuckin de Slane and is longer than 2,700 pages. It has been quoted by many Arabic rhetoricians and grammarians in other works, as it is considered one of the most important records of Arabic history ever written. Here, separated into four volumes, the Biographical Dictionary is an essential work for any student of Muslim culture and literature. Volume II includes: An Introduction by Mac Guckin de Slane; a detailed index of all biographies; notes from the translator for each biography; and detailed genealogies of hundreds of Muslim figures, including Ibn Babak the Poet, As-Sulaihi, Malik Ibn Dinar, and Ar-Rabai the Grammarian. IBN KHALLIKAN (1211-1282) was a thirteenth century Arabic scholar who studied in Damascus, Mosul and Aleppo, specializing in the fields of language, theology, and law, including jurisprudence. He became a well-respected judge in Cairo, eventually becoming a chief judge in Damascus in 1261. Khallikan wrote several books, but his most well known was Deaths of Eminent Men and History of the Sons of the Epoch, often referred to as the "Biographical Dictionary," which took him almost 20 years to complete. Khallikan retired from his position as judge just before his death in 1282. He was one of the most well-known historians and theologians in Egypt.

Abii Bakr Aasim was the son of Abu 'n-Najtid Bahdala, a mawla to the tribe of Jadima Ibn Malik Ibn Nasr Ibn Koain Ibn Asad. His acquaintance with the koranic readings drew upon him general notice and ranked him as one of the seven great masters of that science. He had learned it from Abu Abd ar-Rahman as-Sulami (1) and Zirr Ibn Hubaish (2); he taught it to Abu Bakr Ibn Aiyash (see vol. I. page 553) and Abu Omar al-Bazzaz (3), but these two varied very much in their manner of reading certain words. Aasim died at Kufa, A.H. 545 127 (A. D. 744-5).--The word najM signifies a female wild ass not pregnant; others say that she is thus designated when keeping watch on the top of a hill.--Some persons state that Bahdala was his mother's name (not his father's). (1) Abo Abd ar-Rahman Abd Allah Ibn Habtb as-Sulami al-Kufi (a member of the tribe of Sulaim and a native of Kafa) was born in the lifetime of Muhammad. He learned to read the Koran under the tuition of the khalifs Othman and Ali, and then taught the same science in the great mosque of Kufa. He died A. H. 74 (A.D. 693-4).--(Ad-Dahabi's Tabakat al-Kurra.) (2) Abu Miryam Zirr Ibn Hubaish Ibn Hubasa, a member of the tribe of Asad and a native of Kufa, was one of the great masters in the art of reading the Koran. He was celebrated also as a philologist, and died at a yen advanced age, A. H. 82 (A. D. 701).--(Ad-Dahabi's Tabakat al-Kurrd, fol. 8.);3) Ab(t Omar Hafs Ibn Abi Dawud al-Bazzaz, the disciple of al-Aasim, was a native of Kufa and a mawla to the tribe of Asad.

This book is the outcome of a close study of the Ricote Valley and its famous Sufi Ibn Sab'in. Its purpose is to disclose more of the historical and comparative data. Arab Spaniards have created a glorious human story that lasted for centuries within the scope of the Mediterranean culture. However, a lot of the history of the Ricote Valley is only written in Spanish and still not in English. Andalusian scientists moved from the region of Murcia to the heart of the Islamic world. Their move had quite a deep effect. Among these scientists was the great Sufi philosopher, Muhammad Ibn-'Abdul-Haq known as Ibn- Sab'in (d. 669 H. = 1270 AD), who came from the Ricote Valley. He is the originator of the deep philosophical approach in dealing with highly humanistic Sufi thought, and the author of the magnificent treatise Al-Kalam 'ala Al-Masa'il Al-Siqqilliyya, in which he answered the philosophical questions that Frederick II, the Emperor of Sicily, sent to Muslim scientists in the Mashreq and the Maghreb.
