His Works:
Ibn Taymiyah was a very prolific writer even when he was
in prison he maintained the pace of his prodigious output. His works can be
divided up into two major categories. One Fataway (rulings) and the other
is books. There are many printed books that gathered up from his Fatawa
which can create difficulty for scholars studying his works.

Further Research on the net:
Research note: Ibn Tayimyah is credited with
the start of Salafi revival what is called neo-Hanbalism. Actually this salafi
revival was started by two diametrically opposed lines of Islamic thought at
the turn of the last century by Ibn Abdel Wahab (hence whabhism) and Muhammad
Abdo / Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani. There is a tremendous renewed interest in him
in the Muslim world today. (At least countries that surround the Gulf).
