Meadows of Gold and Mines of Gems (Arabic: مُرُوج ٱلذَّهَب وَمَعَادِن ٱلْجَوْهَر‎, Murūj aḏ-Ḏahab wa-Maʿādin al-Jawhar) is an historical account in Arabic of the beginning of the world starting with Adam and Eve up to and through the late Abbasid Caliphate by medieval Baghdadi historian Al-Masudi. (This translation is heavily focussed on the Abassid period due to translators' own interest.) Arabic title : Muruj ad-Dahab wa-Ma'adin al-Jawhar
