Journal Article 2016 06 14 Ahmad Ibne Abi Eshagh Ibne Vazeh Yaqoobe Esfahani Mesri (deceased, 805 A.D) can be named the father and the master of Islamic geography and international historiography. His religious tendency and extensive knowledge in history, geography, poetry, astronomy, botany and social sciences has made him one of the outstanding Islamic and Shiite scientists. The evidences gathered in this work apparently for the first time provide for a deep understanding of the less recognized dimensions of his stance on religion and tradition, his status in politics, history, and scientific works.  The resignation of Yaqobi dynasty from the centre of eastern Caliphate and their settlement in Africa can be regarded as one of the reasons that the regional historians neglected Yagobi. In his book entitled "History and cities" numerous evidences could be found that he has been an authentic Shiite. In his book "Alboldan" he has referred to some of his own characteristics and own works. Ibne Yonos Mesri, Masodi, and Abu Omar Kendi are the three historians that in tenth century A.D have referred to his works. Hemavi, in the thirteenth century has cited parts of Yaghobi’s works in his unique book “Majmaldaba”.  Ahmad Ibne Abi Eshagh Ibne Vazeh Yaqoobe Esfahani Mesri (deceased, 805 A.D) can be named the father and the master of Islamic geography and international historiography.
