Death-century is parsed from the narrator's recorded death year (AH); ~29% of narrators carry one. A narrator with a region but no death year is counted in the geography lens but not here. The 10th c. AH onward is folded out (negligible counts). This is descriptive of the corpus we hold, not a census of all transmitters. ← regions overview
