Voices of the Past | Ibn Rusta on the Volga Bulgars (903-913 AD) / Primary Source @VoicesofthePast | Uploaded October 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Ahmad ibn Rustah Isfahani, better known as Ibn Rusta was a 10th-century Persian explorer and geographer born in Rosta district, Isfahan, Persia. He wrote a geographical compendium known as Book of Precious Records, based on first hand accounts and his own travels. His information on the non-Islamic peoples of Europe and Inner Asia makes him a useful source for these obscure regions and for the prehistory of the Turks and other steppe peoples.
This is a direct quote from Ibn Rusta, written between 903 and 913.
