Life
Ya'qubi was born in Baghdad[1] to a family of noble background, his great-grandfather was Wadih, the freedman of the caliph Al-Mansur and ruler of Egypt during the reign of al-Mahdi.[5][6] Until 873, he lived in Armenia and Khorasan, working under the patronage of the Tahirid Governors; then he traveled to India, Egypt and the Maghreb.[5] In 872, he listed the kingdoms of Bilād as-Sūdān, including Ghana, Gao, and Kanem.[7]
His methodical approach to writing history includes personal observations and interviews to close relations on topics that Yaqubi could not encounter first-hand. He covered topics of natural, human and economic geography as well as noting down cultural, historical and topographic information.[6]
His sympathies with Ahl al-Bayt[8] are found throughout his works.[9]
He died in Egypt on AH 284 (897/8).[10]
