Untitled[edit]

This was a stub until Farhansher pasted the text from [1] into it. I've reverted to the precopyvio version. Farhansher, please don't do that. It brings Wikipedia into disrepute. Zora 08:20, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

date of death?[edit]

On the timeline of Islamic science and technology his date of death is given as 957 (this article gives it as 956). Would be nice to get agreement between the two pages. -- Cimon avaro; on a pogostick. 00:48, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

toevoeging/opmerking[edit]

Er staat helaas één ding niet bij. El Masu'di has recorded a traveljournal on his travels to the southern region's of Africa. It is said that he was the very first authentic archiologist to travel further south down the borders of mozambique he visited amongst others the land of the Zanj, also known as Zanzibar. Please update or add this to the text.

He is referred to by Basil Davidson in " The lost cities of Africa. Al Mas'udi finished his journal "Meadows of gold and mines of gems" in 947. Davidson mentiones also that Ali Al Mas'udi retired from travel and finished his last works in 955. He then passed away a year later in 956. --Glynn71 18:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's Spelled al-Masudi[edit]

I just reverted back to this spelling. That's how it's spelled as the title of the article. It's how he's known to most English readers who know who he is. Gallador 00:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where is all this stuff coming from? How do we know it is accurate?--Dougweller (talk) 16:46, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
