The 9th century
Whose working lives fell in the 9th century. Books are measured from 1800 and readers from 2015, so for this period we can say who lived then, not who was talked about then.

How to read these rankings
- Attention, not reputation. A place on these lists reflects the attention a person still draws in the public record. It is not a judgement on the life.
- Fame in print. The curves show how often a name appeared in the books of each decade from 1800 to 2019, drawn from the Google Books Ngram corpus.
- Gaps are left as gaps. Where the record is too thin to be fair, we would rather show nothing than guess.
