Ibn al-Zayyat al-Tadili
Abu Yaqub Yusuf Ibn Yahya ibn al-Zayyat al-Tadili was a sufi mystic, influential jurist and hagiographer from Morocco. He is the biographer of many sufi saints. His best known publication is the at-Tashawwuf ila rijal at-tasawwuf, ed. Ahmed Tawfiq. It was written ca. 1220. At-Tadili also wrote the hagiography of Abu al-Abbas as-Sabti entitled Akhbar Abi'l-Abbas as-Sabti. Like his Al-tashawwuf it contains many autobiographical passages of Abu al-Abbas himself.
