Birth of Ibn al-Tiqtaqa soon after the fall of Baghdad, c. 660/1262

Safi al-Din Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Tabataba, known as Ibn al-Tiqtaqa, was born, it seems, shortly after the Mongol conquest of Baghdad in 656/1258 — he does not mention witnessing it himself — and his line runs back to al-Hasan ibn Ali through Ibrahim al-Tabataba.
