Shams al-Din Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Abi Bakr,[a] commonly known by the nisba al-Maqdisi[b] or al-Muqaddasī,[c] was a medieval Arab[1] geographer, author of The Best Divisions in the Knowledge of the Regions[d] and Description of Syria (Including Palestine).
Al-Maqdisi is one of the earliest known historical figures to self-identify as a Palestinian, having done so when sharing an anecdote on one of his travels in Persia.[2]
