The most important of the works are the \u003ci\u003eHistory\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eTa’rikh\u003c\/i\u003e) and his \u003ci\u003eGeography\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eKitab al-buldan\u003c\/i\u003e). The works also contains a new translation of al-Ya`qubī’s political essay (\u003ci\u003eMushakalat al-nas\u003c\/i\u003e) and a set of fragmentary texts drawn from other Arabic medieval works. Al-Ya`qūbī’s writings are among the earliest surviving Arabic-language works of the Islamic period, and thus offer an invaluable body of evidence on patterns of early Islamic history, social and economic organization, and cultural production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Laila Asser, Paul Cobb, Lawrence I.
