Abū Zayd al‐Sīrāfī
Arab editor of voyage records active in the first half of the 10th century. Dates of birth and death unknown. Born in the port city of Shiraf on the eastern coast of the Persian Gulf. Due to his passionate and scholarly interest in the East, he collected information from merchants and travelers and wrote a record of China and India, the Sino-Indian Narrative (c. 916). This work includes the records of the merchant Sulayman, who wrote about his voyage to India and China around 851, and the observations of Ibn Wahhab, who arrived in Khumdan (Chang'an), the capital of China at the time, from Shiraf in 870.
