## Bio

Born in 839 in Amol, Tabaristan, Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari studied across the Islamic world before settling into a life of writing that spanned jurisprudence, history, poetry, grammar, mathematics, and medicine. He began as a follower of the Shafi'i legal school, then spent a decade developing his own system of Islamic law—fluid, evolving, debated until his death in 923. That school, called Jariri after his given name Jarir, thrived for two centuries among Sunni scholars before fading from practice. What endured were his twin monuments: Tafsir al-Tabari, the Quranic exegesis, and Tarikh al-Tabari, the historical chronicle. Both became foundational texts of the Islamic Golden Age, written by a man described as an impressively prolific polymath who worked until the end.
