Ibn Tahir of Caesarea
Abu al-Fadl Muhammad ibn Tahir ibn Ali al-Qaysarani (Arabic: أبو الفضل محمد ابن طاهر ابن علي القيساراني, romanized: Abū al-Faḍl Muḥammad ibn Ṭāhir ibn ʿAlī al-Qaysarānī; 1057–1113), known simply as Ibn Tahir, was an Islamic scholar, historian and traditionist. He is largely credited with being the first to delineate and define the Six Books of Sunni Islam after the Qur'an, and the first person to include Sunan Ibn Maja as a canonical work.
