Summary
Burhan al-Din al-Sinjari, qadi al-qudat; he held Egypt's judgeship alone for a time in al-Salih's state, then the vizier Baha' al-Din wronged and ruined him. 1
His reversals
When the vizier died he held the vizierate for al-Malik al-Sa'id, stayed a while, was deposed and beaten by al-Shuja'i; vizier again, then deposed and harmed, then chief qadi of the province — dying twenty days in; it was said he was poisoned, and Taqi al-Din Ibn Bint al-A'azz succeeded him. 1
