The concluding pages of al-¿abar¿'s History cover the caliphates of al-Mu¿täid and al-Muktaf¿ and the beginning of the reign of al-Muqtadir--altogether a period of 23 turbulent years in world history. Although al-¿abar¿ has woven skillful narratives and quoted important documents verbatim, much of the information consists of brief notes jotted down by an observant and well-placed contemporary who witnessed the events as they occurred. The reporting is thus both vivid and, within limits, historically reliable.
