    Al-Idrisi's full 12th-century world map, with Britain at the bottom right; al-Idrisi seems to have possessed reasonably detailed information about the south and east coasts of Britain, see http://www.caitlingreen.org/2016/03/al-idrisi-twelfth-century-map.html … & http://www.caitlingreen.org/2016/04/islamic-gold-dinars-anglo-norman.html … (image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/a/a1/20141217140029%21TabulaRogeriana_upside-down.jpg …)pic.twitter.com/90fLCCFrt5

        Very interesting article. When trying to map a new area in our minds it is easy to become disoriented. When I moved to South Devon it took me years to place all of the towns, I realised this was due to the way the rivers incised the coast and determined much of the road layout

        Did Idrisi actually drawn this map or reconstructed?

        It's basically his, stitched together from the surviving manuscripts of his individual map sheets (e.g. https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/743367756498800640 …) and then with the Arabic names transliterated :)

        I wonder what the big inland lakes in what appears to be Eastern Europe and Western Asia are supposed to represent. Are they named?
