Description: Creating the Mediterranean : Maps and the Islamic Imagination, Hardcover by Kahlaoui, Tarek, ISBN 9004346198, ISBN-13 9789004346192, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Exploring the Islamic visual representations of the Mediterranean, Kahlaou tracks the history of the Islamic visualization of the sea from the time geography was created by the Islamic state bureaucrats located mainly in the central Islamic lands, to the later men of the field, specifically the sea captains located in the western Islamic lands. He focuses on a corpus of 63 cartographic works from the fourth/tenth century to the tenth/sixteenth that have been little or never studied, to argue that the dominant concept of the Mediterranean, the one espoused by the 20th-century French historian Fernand Braudel, fails to account for the Muslim's view of the sea, in spite of the fact that many or most inhabitants along its shores were Muslims.
