Taj al-Din al-Hamadani

Taj al-Din Ibrahim ibn 'Abdallah al-Hamadani the Hanafi devoted himself to learning from his youth, attached himself to Mawla Sarim Kuz and moved among the madrasas; he wrote a gloss on Sadr al-Shari'a refuting Ibn Kamal Pasha on many points, then gathered the refutations into a treatise of sixteen points and gave one copy to vizier Muhammad Pasha al-Suqi and another to the grand vizier Rustam Pasha, who — having been Ibn Kamal's own student — was utterly changed when he read its denunciation. ²

He was then appointed to the madrasas until he became mufti of Amasya, "a sea of knowledge, a fathom of the sciences," excelling in the rational and transmitted sciences, especially fiqh, and the notables studied under him; he also wrote a gloss on parts of the Miftah sharh and a sharh of the Mir'ah. He died at the beginning of Rabi'. ²
