About This Item

Original first edition of Ibn Hawqal's famous Mediaeval geography "Surat al-'Ard" ("The face of the Earth"), edited by J. H. Kramer. - Clearly more than a mere editor, Ibn Hawqal was a traveler who spent much of his time writing about the areas and things he had seen. He spent the last thirty years of his life traveling to remote parts of Asia and Africa. One of his travels brought him 20 degrees south of the equator along the East African coast. One of the things he noticed was that there were large numbers of people living in areas that the Greeks said must be uninhabitable. His accurate descriptions were very helpful to travelers. The book includes descriptions of Muslim-held Spain, as well as mentions of Yemen, Oman, and Bahrein. Part one has been published in 1938 and part two in 1939. Both parts are bounded in one leather volume. Slight foxing on a few pages otherwise no library stamps/markings. History of Arab/Persian literature in Middle Ages.
