The Kitab-i Diyarbakriyya is a very old book that tells stories about a place called Diyār Bakr. Diyār Bakr was a very important city in history that used to be in the area where Iraq is today.

The book was written by a man named Abu'l-Hasan Ali Ibn al-Husayn Ibn Ali al-Mas'udi, who was a very smart and knowledgeable writer from a long time ago.

In this book, he talks about the people who lived in Diyār Bakr and the things they did. He also talks about the food they ate, the clothes they wore, and the customs they had.

It's a very interesting book, but it can be hard to understand some of the things he talks about. So, people who study history like to read the Kitab-i Diyarbakriyya to learn more about that time and place.
