ʾAbū l-ʿAbbās ʾAḥmad bin ʾAbī Yaʿqūb bin Ǧaʿfar bin Wahb bin Waḍīḥ al-Yaʿqūbī[lower-alpha 1] (died 897/8), commonly referred to simply by his nisba al-Yaʿqūbī, was an Arab[3][4][5][6] Muslim geographer[7] and perhaps the first historian of world culture in the Abbasid Caliphate.[8]
Life
He was born in Baghdad[3] as the great-grandson of Wadih, the freedman of the caliph Al-Mansur. Until 873 he lived in Armenia and Khorasan, working under the patronage of the Tahirids Governors; then he traveled to India, Egypt and the Maghreb,[9] and died in Egypt. He died in AH 284 (897/8).[2]
His sympathies with Ahl al-Bayt[10] are found throughout his works.[11]
In 872, he lists the kingdoms of Bilād as-Sūdān, including Ghana, Gao, and Kanem.[12]
