The compilation was based on earlier biographical sources. It was begun by Severus Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ, although one scholar contests its attribution to him.[3] It was continued by others including Michael, bishop of Tinnis (11th century, writing in Coptic, covering 880 to 1046), Mawhub ibn Mansur ibn Mufarrig, deacon of Alexandria, and Pope Mark III of Alexandria (for 1131 to 1167).
