| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | About a millennium ago, in Cairo, an unknown author completed a large and richly illustrated book. In the course of 35 chapters, this text guided the reader on a journey from the outermost cosmos and planets to Earth and its lands, islands, features, and inhabitants. This treatise, known as 'The Book of Curiosities', was unknown to modern scholars until a remarkable manuscript copy surfaced in 2000. 'Lost Maps of the Caliphs' provides a general overview of 'The Book of Curiosities' and the unique insight it offers into medieval Islamic thought. |
