The Writings of Abd al-Hazir are well known in the civilised parts of Sanctuary. They seem to both be named works as well as a collection of entries, such as a diary.
The Writings of Abd al-Hazir is thereby probably both the name of a book as well as literally being a collection of his writing.
The 42nd entry is the last known writing of Abd al-Hazir. Known for his compilation of weird and wonderful facts about our unique world, he has unfortunately been missing since late last year.
