Al-Dhahabi composes Tarikh al-Islam and his great compilations, c. 730/1330

Al-Dhahabi composed his greatest work, Tarikh al-Islam, down to the year 700 on the model of Ibn al-Jawzi's al-Muntazam, in seventy decadal 'classes', pairing each year's events with the obituaries of its dead. He abridged it six times — among them Siyar A'lam al-Nubala', Tadhkirat al-Huffaz, al-Ibar and Duwal al-Islam — and wrote on rijal Mizan al-I'tidal, al-Mushtabih, besides extracting his great, small and select Mu'jam of his hadith teachers.
