Summary

Qadi Taj al-Din Abu Tahir Yahya ibn 'Abd Allah, qadi of Damascus. Al-'Imad al-Katib al-Isfahani mentioned him in the Kharida, saying he was Kamal al-Din's brother, and praised him. He died at Damascus at eighty years and some months, elegized by his son Muhyi al-Din Muhammad. He had willed the office to his nephew Abu'l-Fada'il al-Qasim, styled Diya' al-Din; the Sultan enforced the will and entrusted the Damascus judgeship to Diya' al-Din. ¹
