Ibn al-Faqih

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Faqih al-Hamadani () (fl. 902) was a 10th-century Persian historian and geographer, famous for his "Mukhtasar Kitab al-Buldan" ("Concise Book of Lands") 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 (Leiden) 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 (Beirut) and E.J. Brill (Lugduni Batavorum).
