Lubab ul-Albab (لباب الالباب) is a famous anthology written by Zahiriddin Nasr Muhammad Aufi in the early 13th century in eastern Persia.
It is considered as the oldest extant biographical work in Iranian literature and the most important collection of biographies of Persian poets.
As an example of the diversity of the material in the Lubab, for example, it is considered the earliest known work in muslim literature in which a compass is described in sea navigation.
