Synopsis

The Works of Ibn Wahid al-Yaqubi, a three volume set, contains a fully annotated translation of the extant writings of Abu al-Abbas al-Yaqubi, a Muslim imperial official and polymath of the third/ninth century, along with an introduction to these works and a biographical sketch of their author. The most important of the works are the History (Tarikh) and his Geography (Kitab al-buldan). The works also contains a new translation of al-Yaqubi's political essay (Mushakalat al-nas) and a set of fragmentary texts drawn from other Arabic medieval works. Al-Yaqubi's writings are among the earliest surviving Arabic-language works of the Islamic period, and thus offer an invaluable body of evidence on patterns of early Islamic history, social and economic organization, and cultural production. Contributors: Laila Asser, Paul Cobb, Lawrence I. Conrad, Elton Daniel, Fred Donner, Michael Fishbein, Matthew S. Gordon, Sidney H. Griffith, Wadad Kadi (al-Qadi), Lutz Richter-Bernberg, Chase F. Robinson, Everett K. Rowson. The hardback edition of this title is also available as part of a 3-volume set (hardback, ISBN 978-90-04-35608-5).
