Atābakān-e Āḏarbāyjān — статья из Encyclopædia Iranica. K. A. Luther: «Šams-al-dīn Īldegoz (ca. 530/1135-36 to 571/1175): On his name see Minorsky, Studies, p. 92 n. 2; Bosworth, EI2III, p. 1111 (Bosworth’s Turkish reconstruction of the name as „Ildeñiz“ is hardly correct). The Ḥabīb al-sīar (Tehran, II, p. 557) describes his origins as a small, ugly Qepčāq slave who rose in Sultan Masʿūd’s favor, but Ebn al-Aṯīr (XI, pp. 338-89) says that he had been a slave of Kamāl Somayramī, vizier of Sultan Maḥmūd b. Moḥammad (511/1117 to 525/1131), and that on the vizier’s death he passed first to Maḥmūd, then to Sultan Masʿūd (527/1133 to 547/1152) who gave him Arrān as eqṭāʿ ; the Salǰūq-nāma (p. 160) says that Masʿūd gave him the widow of Sultan Ṭoḡrel b. Moḥammad in marriage.»
