      Idly pondering earliest ref to Britain by someone living outside bounds of Roman Empire...Ibn Rustah, E10thC Persia? http://www.caitlingreen.org/2016/04/heptarchy-harun-ibn-yahya.html …pic.twitter.com/uFxCvOzK1F

      TEXT: "From here you go forth and journey for four months, till you reach the city of Britain. It is a great city on the shore of the Western Ocean, ruled by seven kings. At the gate of its city is an idol. When the stranger wishes to enter it, he sleeps and cannot enter it, until the people of the city take him, to examine his intention and purpose in entering the city. They are Christians."

      Another early ref to Britain from beyond the bounds of the Roman Empire is in the 10thC Persian Hudud al-'Alam, written in N. Afghanistan:pic.twitter.com/xuHfC0qEeE

      TEXT: "There are twelve islands called Britaniya, of which some are cultivated and some desolate. On them are found numerous mountains, rivers, villages, and different mines... Britannia, the last land of Rum on the coast of the Ocean. It is an emporium of Rum and Spain."

          The E13thC Zhu Fan Zhi has info on several places in west, but not Britain; does have this nice bit on Mt Etna tho'! https://archive.org/stream/cu31924023289345#page/n167/mode/2up …pic.twitter.com/GoM7T4KRRF

          TEXT: Sicily... It is an island of the sea a thousand li in breadth... This country has a mountain with a cavern of great depth in it; when seen from afar it is smoke in the morning and fire in the evening; when seen at a short distance it is a madly roaring fire...

          The Shapur inscription (c. 262 CE) does not mention Britain, alas, but Germany and Spain both appear http://parthiansources.com/texts/skz/skz-19/ …

          Close-up of Europe+Med (unshaded) on E15thC Korean Kangnido map. Britain poss=label in Atlantic, left; Pharos of Alexandria shown as pagoda.pic.twitter.com/1CucojkKeK

          16th-century copy of the 15th-century Kangnido map showing the Mediterranean area, labelled in Korean. Atlantic Ocean coloured blue but Mediterranean left unshaded due to error.

          With regard to India, earliest evidence of an awareness of Britain seems to come from the 16thC e.g the Ain-i-Akbari https://archive.org/stream/bibliothecaindi01indigoog#page/n133/mode/2up …
