Date inconsistency

[edit]

At present, the section Kharidat states:

"The author also speaks about Slavs and their lifestyle and mentions al-Mahdiyya as the residence of the Fatimid dynasty. Therefore, the book is older than the city of Kairo (founded in 969 C. E.)."

However, the lede sentence states:

"Abū Ḥafs Zayn al-Dīn ʻUmar ibn al-Muẓaffar Ibn al-Wardī (Arabic: عمر ابن مظفر ابن الوردي‎), known as Ibn al-Wardi, was an Arab historian AH 691 (1291/1292)-AH 749 (1348/1349), the author of Kharīdat … "

Since someone who lived from 1291 to 1348 A.D. could not have written a book in 969 A.D., presumably the editor is suggesting that Ibn al-Wardī copied a book that pre-dated 969 A.D. However, this seems to be a rather drastic conclusion to draw from a single sentence.

Furthermore, there is no citation given for the claim that the sentence appeared in Ibn al-Wardi's book.
