The Book of Crowns on the Kings of Himyar

Kitāb al-Tījāni (Arabic: كتاب التيجان) also known more commonly as The Book of Crowns on the Kings of Himyar, is a historical and biographical work by the Yemeni historian Wahb ibn Munabbih,[1][2][3] an 8th AD century Israʼiliyyat author.

[Notes 1][8] The book focuses on biographies, as well as the genealogy and ancestry of the rulers of the Himyarite Kingdom.

[13] However, Ibn Hisham also gives his own personal commentary stating that Dhu al-Qarnayn was one of the Tababi'ah (plural of Tubba', the ruling title of the Himyarites), with the name of Sa'b ibn al-Harith (otherwise known as Sa'b Dhu Marathid).

[17] Modern historian Jan Retsö has suggested that the commentaries of Ibn Hisham have shown that there was interest from Muslim orthodoxy in his era to preserve the historiography of Yemeni tradition.

[18] Modern historians have said that some entries and stories in the book, are, however, legendary in nature and may not reflect reality.
