Abu Ali Muhammad ibn Obaydallah (Persian: ابوالفضل محمد بن عبدالله) mostly known as Bal'ami (Persian: بلعمی) was an Pesian historian, writer, and vizier to the Samanids. He was born in Taloqan, a city in modern Afghanistan. His most famous work is Tarikh-e Bal'ami, which is a translation of Tabari. It contains supplementary material, some of which is found nowhere else. Having been written in 963, it is the oldest new-Persian prose work after the preface of the Shah-nama by Abu Mansur.[1]
