Biography
Ibn al-Athir belonged to the Shayban lineage[5] of the large and influential Arab tribe Banu Bakr,[6][7] who lived across upper Mesopotamia, and gave their name to the city of Diyar Bakr.[8][9][10]
He was the brother of Majd ad-D?n and Diy?' ad-D?n Ibn Athir. Al-Athir lived a scholarly life in Mosul, often visited Baghdad and for a time traveled with Saladin's army in Syria. He later lived in Aleppo and Damascus. His chief work was a history of the world, al-Kamil fi at-Tarikh (The Complete History). He died in the city of Mosul.
