Created in 1456 and printed in The Cairo, this edition is a true testament to human curiosity and exploration during the 12th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this map immediately draw you into its enchanting narrative. Crafted by Ali Ibn Idrisi, an Islamic scholar who lived between 1100-1164, it reflects his deep understanding of geography and cartography. This masterpiece offers a comprehensive view of countries across the globe, including Great Britain and England.
