Description
Abu 'l-Qasim 'Ubayd Allah b. 'Abd Allah Ibn Khurradadhbih (d. c. 911 CE) is one of the earliest geographical writers in Arabic whose writings have survived more or less in their original form. The Kitab al-Masalik wa l-mamalik ('The book of itineraries and kingdoms') made his reputation. In this edition, Ibn Khurradadhbih's geographical text is published alongside an excerpt from Qudama Ibn Ja'far's Kitab al-Kharaj, which relied on the same sources as Ibn Khurradadhbih. Qudama b. Ja'far was a prominent philologist and historian who died between 940 and 948 CE.
