Summary

العربية: خارطة العالم للإدريسي، مخطوطة باللُغة العربيَّة من سنة 804هـ/1154م/م1456 A.D.

لاحظ كيف أنَّ الجنوب وُضع أعلى الخارطة.

  • الخريطة معكوسة حيثُ أنَّ الجنوب في الأعلى
  • في الملكيَّة العامَّة كونها قديمة لا تخضع لحقوق التأليف والنشر.

أُخذت النسخة الأولى من هذا الموقع، وتحديدًا من هُنا. أمَّا النسخة الثانية فقد تمَّ قلبها وقصَّها، وأصلها هُنا

وفقًا لمكتبة فرنسا الوطنيَّة، فإنَّ هُناك عشرُ نُسخٍ باقية من كتاب نزهة المشتاق في اختراق الآفاق أو كتاب روجر حول العالم. ومن بين هذه النُسخ العشر، فإنَّ ستَّة تضم خارطة مُستديرة في بداية المؤلَّف غير مذكورة في نص الإدريسي الأصلي". [1]

هذه الصورة مأخوذة من مخطوطة نسخها علي بن الحسن الحوفي القاسمي في القاهرة سنة م1456، يُحتفظُ بها الآن في مكتبة بودليايان بأكسفورد. (Mss. Pococke 375 fol. 3v-4)

مُلاحظة: الخارطة في الأعلى مغلوطة ومقلوبة رأسًا على عقب. فلا تتشاطرها مع أحد عبر أي موقع أو في الواقع، واستبدلها بهذه النسخة

English: al-Idrisi world map in Arabic from 'Alî ibn Hasan al-Hûfî al-Qâsimî's 1456 copy, made at Cairo and now preserved at Oxford's Bodleian Library as MS. Pococke 375 fol. 3v-4. According to the French National Library, "Ten copies of the Kitab Rujar [Book of Roger of Sicily; the Tabula Rogeriana] exist worldwide today. Of these ten, six contain at the start of the work a circular map of the world which is not mentioned in the text of al-Idris". The original text dates to 1154.

Note that south is at the top of the map.

The first version was uploaded from Henry Davis; the second rotated and cropped from an original at Sindominio.net. The original image is also available at the Bodleian here.
