Shams al-Dën IbrÃÂhëm ibn ÿAbd al-RaḥmÃÂn ibn ÿAbd AllÃÂh ibn al-QaysarÃÂnë al-KhÃÂlidë (died May 1352) was a Syrian scribe and chancery official under the Mamlà «ks.
IbrÃÂhëm belonged to a prominent Syro-Palestinian family known as the KhÃÂlidës or Banà « l-QaysarÃÂnë. They claimed descent from KhÃÂlid ibn al-Walëd. His great-grandfather, KhÃÂlid ibn al-QaysarÃÂnë, served as the vizier of Nà «r al-Dën Maḥmà «d ibn Zankë (d. 1174). His grandfather, Fatḥ al-Dën ÿAbd AllÃÂh ibn al-QaysarÃÂnë, served as the vizier in Syria of three Mamlà «k sultans. IbrÃÂhëm worked in Damascus and Cairo. He has entries in the biographical dictionaries of Ibn Ḥajar al-ÿAsqalÃÂnë and al-á¹¢afadë. According to al-á¹¢afadë, the death of his patron, BahÃÂdur al-TamurtÃÂshë, who was Sultan al-á¹¢ÃÂliḥ IsmÃÂÿël's brother-in-law, brought his steady advancement at court to an end in March 1343. He died in May 1352.
In the year AH 743 (AD 1342âÂÂ1343), IbrÃÂhëm wrote a prose panegyric of the Sultan al-á¹¢ÃÂliḥ IsmÃÂÿël for his accession in June 1342. Its full Arabic title is al-Nà «r al-lÃÂþiḥ wa-l-durr al-sÃÂá¸Âiḥ fë á¹£á¹ÂifÃÂþ mawlÃÂnàal-sulá¹ÂÃÂn al-malik al-á¹¢ÃÂliḥ ('The Brilliant Light and the Necklace of Pearls, [Demonstrating] the Divine Election of Our Lord the Sultan, al-á¹¢ÃÂliḥ IsmÃÂÿël'). The text was published in 1982. Its editor treated it as a history of the Ayyà «bid and Mamlà «k dynasties.
