Yâqût al-Rûmî's 'Mu'jm al-buldân' is a geographical dictionary with place names arranged alphabetically. The author began writing it in 1212. 'For entries on the Sahara and the Sudan Yâqût quotes the tenth-century Ibn Hawqal and the eleventh century al-Bakrî. But he also borrowed (without acknowledgement) from Ibn al-Faqîh ... But by far the most important quotations are those from 'al-'Azîzî', the lost work of al-Muhallabî' (Levtzion & Hopkins 1981:167).},
