This study examines the various factors which have contributed to the readers ambivalence toward al Katib al Isfahani (Imad al-Din a. Abdallah Muhammad b. Muhammad b. Hamid, 519-97/1125-1201) who, despite being regarded as an indispensible source on the Zengid and Ayyubid dynasties and their continual conflict with the Crusades, is regarded with unease if not outright rejection by many old and contemporary writers.
