This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 12th century, created by the renowned Islamic scholar and explorer Muhammad al-Idrisi. Known as the Paris transcript of V-4, this map provides a glimpse into the intricate knowledge and skill possessed by al-Idrisi during his time. The map itself offers an extensive view of various regions in Greece, including the northern shoreline of Marmara Sea, Gallipoli Peninsula, Aegean Sea shoreline from the delta of Maritsa River to Peloponnese Peninsula, region Macedonia, parts of Central Greece, and Thessaly. With its detailed depiction of these areas, it serves as both a historical document and a testament to al-Idrisi's expertise in geographical representation. Muhammad al-Idrisi was not only an accomplished cartographer but also made significant contributions to Islamic science.
