'''Abulfeda of Damascus''' (1273-1331) was a historian and geographer born in Damascus. His uncle was governor of Hamah, in Syria, and in his service Abulfeda participated in campaigns against the Crusaders, taking part in the sieges of Tripoli and Acre. In 1298, he entered the service of the Mameluke Sultan al-Malik al-Nasir, but in 1310 he returned to Hamah as its governor. In recognition of his faithfulness, he received the title of prince in 1312 and of sultan in 1320.

He was a successful ruler, establishing prosperity in his domains and erecting rather luxurious princely residences at Hamah. He himself gained his most fame as a writer, on the basis of two monumental works. The first, ''Tarikh al-Mukhtasar fi Akhbar al-Bashar'', is a general history of the Moslem world from 622 to 1329; in it Abulfeda included much on Arabic literature and culture. The second, ''Taqwim al-Buldan'', is a geography of the most important regions of the Moslem world, giving descriptive material on lands and cities.

 In 1298, Abulfeda entered the service of the Mameluke Sultan al-Malik al-Nasir, under whom he gained considerable experience in both military and political affairs. By 1310, Abulfeda returned to Hamah as its governor. His loyalty and administrative skill earned him further recognition, and in 1312, he was granted the title of prince. This was followed in 1320 by his elevation to the title of sultan, cementing his status as a trusted and influential leader.
-As a ruler, Abulfeda established prosperity in his domains, improving the infrastructure and constructing luxurious princely residences in Hamah. However, his enduring legacy lies in his contributions to literature and scholarship. He is best known for two monumental works. The first, ''Tarikh al-Mukhtasar fi Akhbar al-Bashar,'' is a comprehensive history of the Moslem world spanning the period from 622 to 1329. This work also delves into Arabic literature and culture, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the intellectual and social life of the era. The second, ''Taqwim al-Buldan,'' is a detailed geography of the most important regions of the Moslem world, offering rich descriptions of lands and cities. These works secured Abulfeda’s reputation as one of the foremost scholars of his time, ensuring his influence extended far beyond his reign as a ruler.
