Lost Maps of the Caliphs

Drawing the World in Eleventh–Century Cairo

Emilie Savage-Smith, Yossef Rapoport

Completed between 1020 and 1050, The Book of Curiosities is an illustrated treatise covering the universe, from the outermost stars to the physical features of the Earth and its strangest flora and fauna. The book was only discovered in 2000, and this first full survey shows how its contents allow a re-evaluation of medieval map-mapping and its development in the first few centuries of Islamic civilization.
