Mohammed ibn al-Tayyib al-Qadiri (Arabic: محمد بن الطيب القادري; 1712–1773) was a Moroccan historian most known as the author of Nashr al-Mathani.
[1][2][3][4] This work is a biographical dictionary of 18th-century Morocco, but each year is usually accompanied by a summary of events.
In this sense, the form of the book tends toward being both that of a biographical dictionary and a chronicle.
His extensive autobiography with some references to himself and family is in Iltiqat al-durat (wa-mustafad al-mawaiz wa-al-ibar min akhbar wa-ayan al-mia al-hadiya wa-althaniya ashar), ed.
Hashim al-Alawi al-Qasimi (Beirut: Manshurat Dar al-Afaq al- Jadida, 1983) 449-92.
