Person
Qadi Isa Savaji
Qadi Isa Savaji was a judge and leading minister of the Aq Qoyunlu ruler Ya'qub (r. 1478–1490). He attempted a fiscal reform that aimed to revoke hereditary tax exemptions, known as soyurghal, and to bring taxation closer to Islamic law. The reform provoked strong opposition from the military emirs and religious notables, and after Ya'qub's death Qadi Isa was executed and his reforms abandoned.
