Kramers of the Arabic text of Ibn Hawqal’s Vi>Kitab Surat al-ard, the first BGA edition of which was published in 1873. The journeys of Abu l-Qasim Ibn Hawqal, who might have been a merchant, took him to North Africa, Spain and the southern edge of the Sahara (947-51), Egypt, Armenia and Azerbaijan (c. 955), the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Khuzistan, and Iran (961-69), Khwarazm and Transoxania (c. 969), and Sicily (973). By about 988 CE the final version of Ibn Hawqal’s Kitab Surat al-ard was ready. It is effectively both a continuation and an update of al-Istakhri’s Kitab al-Masalik wa-al-mamalik and is also known under that same title. Ibn Hawqal transformed what was meant as a commentary on a series of maps into a work in its own right, which also included remarks on various countries or peoples bordering on the Islamic world, e.g. the Turks, the Khazars, the towns of southern Italy, the Sudanese and the Nubians. Although he owed much to al-Istakhri’s work, Ibn Hawqal aimed to place the text firmly within his own period. He took great care to depict a region precisely in the state and at the date that he himself had seen it, with occasional references to the distant or more recent past. This is particularly true of the notes on economic matters, which form a complete break with convention. Ibn Hawqal was the only Arab geographer of the period who really sketched a vivid picture of production.0. Abu al-Kasim Ibn Haukal al-Nasibi ; [edited] by J.H. Kramers.

Ahmad b. Abi Bakr al-Bannaʼ al-Shami al-Muqadassi is one of the most prominent representatives of Arabic geography in the second half of the 10th century CE. Building on the tradition of the "atlas of Islam" of which al-Istakhri and Ibn Hawqal were also representatives, al-Muqadassi was the first to systematize the subject into a proper science of geography of Islam for the benefit of both merchants and the cultivated man. Al-Muqadass's Ahsan al-taqasim fi maʻrifat al-aqalim ("the best division for the knowledge of the provinces") was the first work of its kind to be accepted as a form of literature. The treatment of each "province" (iqlim) begins with the division of its districts and towns, followed by their description. Then a general chapter of the province tends to discuss the following aspects: climate, products and specialties, waters, mines, mountains, holy places, money, taxes, weights and measures, customs, marvels, calendar, political power, factions, schools and Qurʼanic readings, and routes. by al-Muqadassi = Main Heritage Compact General G93 .M94 2014 Reference Item-ID: i22369260 BIB-ID: 1886526 In Arabic.

Show moreLittle is known about the life of Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhim b. Muḥammad al-Iṣṭakhrī, the author of Kitāb al-Masalik wa l-mamālik , which was written towards the end of the first half of the 10th century CE. The work built on the earlier concept of the "atlas of Islam", which it developed further. The climates (iqlīm) it describes are no longer those of Ptolemean geography, but, reflecting the Iranian tradition, refer to geographical entities or "countries". Also reflecting the author's background--whose most common nisba is al-Fārisī--Iran holds a favoured position on this work. Published in 1870, the present edition by M.J. de Goeje was the first volume in the first series of the Bibliotheca Geographorum Arabicorum. auctore Abu Ishák al-Fárisí al-Istakhrí.
