This print showcases the remarkable Kitab Rudjdjar or Tabula Rogeriana, an early world map created by the esteemed Arab geographer Muhammad al-Idrisi in 1154. Commissioned for Roger II, the visionary King of Sicily from 1130, this masterpiece of cartography offers a unique perspective with North positioned at the bottom. Transporting us back to the twelfth century, this extraordinary map represents a pivotal moment in history when exploration and geographical understanding were flourishing. Its intricate details and precise craftsmanship reveal Idrisi's profound knowledge and dedication to his craft.
