The Works of Ibn Wadih al-Ya'qubi, a three volume set, contains a
fully annotated translation of the extant writings of Abu al-'Abbas
al-Ya'qubi, 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 (Ta'rikh) and his Geography (Kitab
al-buldan). It also contains a new translation of al-Ya'qubi's
political essay (Mushakalat al-nas) and a set of fragmentary texts
drawn from other Arabic medieval works. Al-Ya'qubi'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.
