About this document

LBN An-Nadim The Fihrist A 10th Century AD Survey of Islamic by homeropec is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The author of al-Fihrist (The Catalog) was Abu al-Faraj Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq, but as a rule he is called al-Nadim because he had the distinction of being a nadim or court companion. As the surname of his father was Abu Yaqub, he evidently had an elder brother named Yaqub and probably had other brothers and sisters as well. The year of his birth is unknown but it cannot have been much after 935 AD and more likely was somewhat earlier. The author
