I am currently (October 2005) researching Arab geographer Yaqut ibn Abd Allah al-Hamawi (1179-1229) and atttempting to fill in the stub article about this Islamic geographer, historian, philosopher, theologian, librarian and traveler. I am almost utterly ignorant of Islamic culture and am not a speaker of Arabic. Any corrections of my misspellings and guidance out of the maze of my American ethnocentrism is very much appreciated.
