The congregational mosque of Yalbuġā was located west of the horse market, on Baradā, quarter Taḥt al-Qalʿā.
Wulzinger and Watzinger (1) stated, "Gegründet von Emir Sayf ad-Dīn Yalbuġā; 847 h. (1443) zu bauen begonnen."
Sauvaget (2) wrote:
"Mosquée bâtie en 1264 (662 AH) sur la place du Marché aux Chevaux, restaurée en 1401, puis en 1443 par le gouverneur de Syrie Yalbuġā (dʾoù le nom de lʾédifice), puis à nouveau au XVIIIe siècle."
The year 662 is a legitimate reading of an inscription wrongly painted over. The year 847 is an error committed by a copyist of an-Nuʿaymī, accepted by Sauvaire, and repeated since.
"Ǧāmiʿ Yalbuġā, on the bank of the Baradā, under the citadel, well known, was built by the emir Sayf ad-Dīn Yalbuġā. It had been the hill where the gallows stood .... They started building it in 847. Yalbuġā was strangled at al-Qāqūn (3); his head was sent to Cairo in 848" (Sauvaire and an-Nuʿaymī).
The error 847-48 for 747-48 (1347-1348 CE) is evident. Sauvaire (4) adduced a long story about another governor Yalbuġā, who died in Damascus in his fifties in the year 848 after a long illness. None of the details fits the short presentation of an-Nuʿaymī.
