Ok, this will be a "sandbox" for me, where I link to usable sources.
Guy le Strange
In his book Palestine under the Moslem, Guy le Strange lists the geographers/writers he has used (p. 13). He names 20 people. As the translation from an Arab name into English is very, very different from author to author, some of the names are difficult to recognise. Here are the ones that I have found on Wikipedia:
- 1. (I.Kh.) -> Ibn Khordadbeh
- 2. (Bil.) Biladhuri -> Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Baladhuri Book: Futuh al-Buldan
- 4. (Yb.) ->Ya'qubi Books: Tarikh al-Yaqubi, Kitab al-Buldan
- 5. (I.F.) Ibn al Fakih --> ???
- 6. (I.R.) --> Ibn Abd Rabbih
- 7. (Mas.) ->Masudi, Abu al-Hasan 'Alī al-Mas'ūdī 896-956 Book: The Meadows of Gold
- 8. (Is.) Istakhri --> ???
- 9 (I.H.) Ibn Haukal --> ???
- 10. (Muk.) = Mukaddasi -> Al-Muqaddasi (945/946 AD),
- 11. (N.Kh) Nasir-i-Khusrau --> ???
- 12. Ibn Butlan (in Yakut) --> ???
- 13. (Id.) Idrisi --> ???
- 14. (A.H.) Ali of Herat --> ???
- 15. (I.J.) = Ibn Jubair -> Ibn Jubayr
- 16. (Yak.) = Yakut -> Yaqut al-Hamawi
- 17. (Mar.) = The author of Marasid
- 18. (Dim.) Dimashki --> ??? (=the author on Nubulsi soap!!)
- 19. (A.F.) = Abu-l Fida ->Abu al-Fida
- 20. (I.B.) = Ibn Batuta -> Ibn Battuta
