Yaḥyā ibn ʿAlī al-Tanūkhī (5 March 1051 – c. 1105), called Ibn Zurayq, was a Syrian chronicler. [1]
Ibn Zurayq was born in Maʿarrat al-Nuʿmān. He played a role in the First Crusades. [2] He probably died in the first decade of the 12th century, [1] although Bernard Lewis places his death after 1115. [3]
Ibn Zurayq wrote a lost chronicle ( tārīkh) covering Seljuk rule in Syria and the First Crusades. [4] Only a few extracts are preserved through Ibn al-ʿAdīm via al-ʿUlaymī. [2] [3] [4] These provide information on Alp Arslan's campaign against Aleppo and the relationship between Khalaf ibn Mulāʿib and Aq Sunqur. [4]
