A short survey of the historical development of Zaydi Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), published on the Leiden Arabic Humanities Blog, a research blog hosted by Leiden University. Its authors are named scholars working in the field rather than an anonymous or crowd-edited source, and the piece traces the line from Zayd ibn Ali's own early corpus through al-Hadi ila'l-Haqq Yahya's founding of the Yemeni Zaydi imamate and his own unfinished legal writing, to the later elaboration of Zaydi legal theory. It is a university-hosted academic blog post rather than a peer-reviewed journal article or monograph, appropriate as a source for the outline of who wrote what and when, though a reader wanting a full scholarly treatment of Zaydi legal theory should look to the peer-reviewed literature the piece itself draws on.

Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier two: a named-author academic blog post hosted by a university department, useful and credibly sourced for descriptive facts about who wrote what and when, but a secondary summary rather than a peer-reviewed monograph or journal article, and not stretched here to support any claim beyond that outline.
