Abd al-Quddus al-Ansari (Arabic: عبد القدوس الأنصاري, romanized: ʿAbd al-Quddūs al-Anṣārī; c. 12 February 1907 – 5 April 1983) was a Saudi Arabian historian, journalist and writer, born and raised in Medina under Ottoman and Hashemite rule into a Khazraji family. Employed by local government just after graduation from a local madrasah in 1928, he held several official positions from 1928 to 1954. A self-taught historian and archaeologist, he was the author of works about the history of Medina and wrote about various topics of his region, the Hejaz. In 1937, he founded the monthly magazine “Al-Manhal” . He also wrote literary works like The Twins (1930), the first Hejazi-Saudi novel, but his many professional activities prevented him from writing more than one novel. He died at the age of 76 in Mecca due to an incurable disease and was buried in Al-Mu'alla Cemetery. Source: Wikipedia (en)
