Error in the sentence

[kamlesh1joshi]

Hi,

Please correct the following sentence.

The works of Muhammad Rumi, a less known poet of the 11h century, have influenced many famous authors such as Khalil Gibran, Andrew Harvey and Rabindranath Tagore.


I believe, the error lies in the bold fragment, but not able to find where it exactly lies.

Please help!

Thanks for your help in advance.
