Biographical notes
Ibn Bībī was a bureaucrat at the
Seljuk court and author of one of the main sources of the history of the Anatolian
Seljuk ruling dynasty. His father Majd al-Dīn Muḥammad Tarjumān, fl.
13th century , had been a munshī at the court of ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn
Muḥammad Khwārazmshāh, d. 1220 as well as that of his son, Jalāl al-Dīn, Shah of Khorezm,
-1231 , while his mother, (Bībī Munajjima, d. before 679/early
1281 ) served the Khwārazmshāhs as court astrologer. After the death
of the Jalāl al-Dīn, Shah of Khorezm,
-1231 , in 628 AH [1231 CE] the
family relocated to Damascus where
they remained until Ibn
Bībī ’s mother was invited > by ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn Kayḳubād I to Konya to serve as court astrologer in
around 631 AH [1233-1234 CE].
Her husband was later given a post at court as tarjumān (translator). Ibn Bībī rose to the head of the
chancelery, holding the title Mālik-i Dīwān al-Ṭug̲h̲rā, and thus had privileged
access to state documents and was particularly well-informed of events transpiring
at court. Ibn
Bībī wrote only one work but it has come to us in the following three
different forms: firstly, the original work (Baghdad , ʻAlāʾ al-Dīn ʻAṭā
Malik Juvaynī, 1226-1283 ; secondly, an anonymous Persian abridgement
(mukhtaṣar) produced during Ibn
Bībī ’s lifetime (see Yazıcızâde ʿAlī, active 15th century in the third section of his
Oghuznāmah (اغوزنامه) or Taʾrīḫ-i āl-i selçūḳ
composed for Murad II, Sultan of the
Turks, 1404-1451 in 827 or 840 [1423-1437 CE]. His death date is unknown.
