Development
The tabaqat literature originated sometime within the late eighth and ninth centuries.
Examples
Famous examples of Tabaqat literature include Ṭabaqāt al-Ḥanābilah originally by Ibn Abi Ya'la and then by Ibn Rajab. Kitab Tabaqat al-Mutazilah (concerned with theologians of the Mutazilite school) by Ahmad bin Yahya al-Murtada, Kitāb al-Ṭabaqāt al-Kabīr (about the companions of the Prophet and their successors) by Ibn Sa'd and - more recently - Tabaghat Aa'lam Al-Shia (about famous Shia scholars] by Agha Bozorg Tehrani. The case of Ibrahim Hafsi's compendium of works, which are based on the ṭabaqāt historiographical framework, also demonstrate how the genre is applied in various fields in the Arabo-Islamic civilization and religious disciplines.[5]
