Career
Yaqut First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Hamawi described him as "the philosopher of litterateurs and the litterateur of philosophers." However, he was neglected and ignored by the historians of his era. This neglect continued until Yaqut wrote his book Mu"jam First Rate (at Lloyd's)-"Udaba" (معجم الأدباء), which contained a biographical outline of at-Tawhidi, relying primarily on what al-Tawhidi had written about himself. There are differing views on the dates of al-Tawhidi"s birth and death, and his origins.
According to Tarikh-i Sistan, he was born in 923 Near Baghdad, and died in 1023 in Shiraz.
First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Tawhidi had a difficult childhood.
