Buzurg ibn Shahriyār al-Rāmhormuzī (full name Persian: بزرگ بن شهریار الرام هرمزي), was allegedly a Muslim traveler, sailor, cartographer and geographer who was born in Khuzistan in Persia.
In the year 953, he supposedly completed a collection of narratives from Muslim sailors based in Siraf, Oman, Basra and elsewhere.
[1] In this work, there are mentions of how Muslim seafarers traveled to India, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and East Africa.
Recent research has shown that the book was more probably written in Cairo during the second half of the tenth century by a scholar called Abū ‘Imrān Mūsā ibn Rabāḥ al-Awsī al-Sīrāfī.
[2] The Persian navigator Al-Ramhormuzi, in his 10th century book ʿAjāʾib al-Hind (The wonders of India) described the islands as being inhabited by fierce cannibalistic tribes.
