EspañolYAHYA IBN KHALID
'Yahya ibn Khalid' (, yaḥyā bin ḫālid) (d. 806) was a member of the powerful Persian Barmakids family, son of Khalid ibn Barmak.
Caliph al-Mahdi entrusted him in 778 with the education of his son Harun, who afterwards became Caliph as Harun al-Rashid, who made him Vizier.
Under his influence, the Caliph invited to Baghdad many scholars and masters from India, especially Buddhists. A catalogue of both Muslim and non-Muslim texts prepared at this time, Kitab al-Fihrist, included a list of Buddhist works. Among them was an Arabic version of the account of Buddha’s previous lives, Kitab al-Budd.[1]
He had three sons, among which Jafar succeeded him as Vizier, Musa ruled Damascus, and Fadl was governor of Khurasan, then of Egypt.
In 803 his family fell into disgrace, and he was cast into prison, where he died in 806 (according to the story, because his son Jafar had an affair with Harun al-Rashid's sister, most likely because the family had too much power).
