Ibn Sana' al-Mulk, the qadi Abu al-Qasim Hibatallah, son of the qadi al-Rashid — Egyptian man of letters with the famed diwan; he served the diwan al-insha', was master of epistle and verse, abridged al-Jahiz's Kitab al-Hayawan as Ruh al-Hayawan, composed Dar al-Tiraz, a diwan all of muwashshahat, and gathered his correspondence with al-Qadi al-Fadil — when Sharaf al-Din Ibn Unayn came to Egypt they feted him as 'the poet of Syria'; al-Imad the katib recalls al-Qadi al-Fadil feeding him, in his tent, a tasida that Ibn Sana' al-Mulk had written him before the age of twenty. He died in the first ten days of Ramadan 608 at Cairo, aged about sixty-five ¹.
