Ibn al-Faqih
Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Faqih al-Hamadani was a 10th-century Persian historian and geographer, famous for his Mukhtasar Kitab al-Buldan written in Arabic.
In the 1870s the dutch orientalist Michael Jan de Goeje edited a selection of geography works of Arab geographers in an 8-volume series titled Bibliotheca geographorum Arabicorum published by Lugduni-Batavae Brill publishers. Al-Hamadhānī's Mukhtasar Kitab al-Buldan was published in volume 5 of this series.
In 1967 second editions were printed by Dar Sadir and E.J. Brill.
