|Native name=مُحَمَّد بن جَرير الطَبَري}}'''Muhammad b. Jarir al-Tabari''' was an important jurisprudent, Quran commentator, and historian (in descending order among tenth-century Muslims; in ascending order among modern scholars). Born in Amul, Tabaristan (by the Caspian Sea), Tabari memorized the Quran at eight and left home to study under more distant masters at twelve. He finally settled in Baghdad, always mainly supported by remittances from his landowning family in Tabaristan.
