Biography

Tabari was born in Amol (Tabaristan) 960, and started his primary education late.[3] He went to Gorgan and then Nishabur to study, but finally settled in Baghdad.[4][5]

He was the Chief Judge of Baghdad until his death.[6][7][8]

He died in 1058 at the age of 102, still productive and said to be in full possession of his mental and physical powers.[9] The elders of Baghdad participated in his funeral ceremony and his body was buried in the western side of Baghdad near the tomb of Ahmad ibn Hanbal.[10][11][12]
