Al-Mufaddal ibn Abi al-Fada'il

Al-Mufaddal ibn Abi al-Fada'il (Arabic: المفضل بن ابي الفضائل) was a 14th-century Egyptian historian. He was a Coptic Christian.

Al-Mufaddal wrote a book about the history of the Bahriyya Mamluks, entitled al-Nahdj al-sadîd wa-l-durr al-farîd fimâ ba'd Ta'rîkh Ibn al'Amîd, covering the period from 1260 to 1340. He finished his work in 1358. Al-Muffaddal gives precise descriptions of the history of Egypt and Syria, especially the Mongol occupation of Syria. He noted down the Damascus declaration made by the Mongols, as well as the content of the letters exchanged between Ghazan and al-Nâsir.

gollark: Oh, plus you have the `if err != nil` boilerplate.
gollark: You just can't define your own.
gollark: Go kind of has generics! It has those generic types built in!
gollark: Another issue of Go: the divide between "smart people" (compiler writers) and users, who are not worthy of the generics.
