Al-Mas'udi
Much of his work has vanished, but Mas'udi's matchless ,The Meadows of Gold, has almost miraculously survived: a compendium of stories and information on what he knew of the worlds of the Middle East, the Far East and Europe. It is both a great monument to Islamic scholarship and a time capsule allowing us into the world over a millennium ago.
