# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Jabir al-Baladhuri died in 892 or 893, a historian whose proximity to power shaped his access. He spent most of his life in Baghdad, where he held sway at the court of the caliph al-Mutawakkil. He traveled through Syria and Iraq, gathering material on the ground. What emerged were major works of history—chronicles that traced how territories fell and populations converted in the decades after Muhammad. His method was patient accumulation: he collected the facts others might forget, then set them in order.
