1. Baghdad scholarly residence

   0942-09-01 · Baghdad, Iraq

   

   Al-Farabi was still in Baghdad at the end of September 942, during the period in which he had begun composing his work on the virtuous city there. The evidence establishes presence through the end of September 942, but not a particular day.

2. Completion of the Virtuous City in Damascus

   0943-01-01 · Damascus, Syria

   

   After leaving Baghdad with the manuscript, Al-Farabi completed Mabadi' ara' ahl al-madina al-fadila in Damascus the following year. The source supports the year 943 and completion by September, but does not establish a specific month of physical presence.

3. Visit to Egypt

   0948-01-01 · Egypt

   Al-Farabi visited Egypt and wrote six sections summarizing Mabadi' ara' ahl al-madina al-fadila there during 337 AH. The documented interval is July 948–June 949; the source names Egypt but no city, so coordinates are a country-level representative point.

4. Death in Damascus

   0950-01-01 · Damascus, Syria

   

   Al-Farabi died in Damascus after returning to Syria from Egypt; the contemporaneous chronology places his death in Rajab 339 AH. The documented death interval crosses calendar years, from 14 December 950 to 12 January 951; JSONL date format does not permit a range.
