Al-Masudi (c. 896-956) An Arab historian, geographer, and traveler. He is sometimes referred to as the 'Herodotus of the Arabs'.
Al-Masudi and The Arabian Nights In 947, Al-Masudi describes a large collection of a thousand tales from all over the ancient world that he calls the Persian Hazar afsana (A Thousand Stories). The stories (some of them psi-themed) circulated for centuries, with new folk tales and renditions being added to the mix over the years.
