The name

If this is a Persian-language manuscript, why is the title Arabic? Enaidmawr 00:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is the relation of a Geography book written in Arabic with the persian litterature ? Babak —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.22.108 (talk) 09:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More importantly, why is it at this namespace if (a) Ḥudūd al-ʿĀlam is the article lede and (b) the lower-case A doesn't make any sense in the first place? I'm in the middle of two or three other articles, but if you, dear Reader, could take a few minutes to Googlefu the books and scholar WP:ENGLISH WP:COMMONNAME for this baby, post the results here, and then move the page, that would be keen. — LlywelynII 12:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that this is a Persian book and actually one of the earliest examples of New Persian prose works available to us. Only the title is in Arabic, otherwise the whole content is in Persian, and the author and the dedicatee were both Persians and Persian speakers. I edited the lead paragraph to make it more clear.
