Abu'l-Fath
Abu'l-Fath ibn Abi al-Hasan al-Samiri al-Danafi, (Arabic: أبو الفتح إبن أبي الحسن السامري) was a 14th-century Samaritan chronicler. His major work is Kitab al-Ta'rikh (Arabic: كتاب التاريخ).
The work was commissioned in 1352 by Pinḥas, Samaritan high priest, and begun in 1356. It is a compilation of Samaritan history from cited earlier sources,[1] running from Adam to Mohammed.[2]
It was edited by Eduard Vilmar as Abulfathi annales Samaritani (Gotha, 1865).
