Kitāb Al-Masālik Wa L-Mamālik by Abū Isḥāq Al-Iṣṭakhrī: Viae Regnorum: Descriptio Ditionis ... Geographorum Arabicorum) (Arabic Edition)

Little is known about the life of AbuÌ„ IshÌ£aÌ„q IbrÄhÄ«m b. Muá¸¥ammad al-IsÌ£tÌ£akhriÌ„, the author of KitaÌ„b al-MasaÌ„lik wa l-mamaÌ„lik, which was written towards the end of the first half of the 10th century CE. The work built on the earlier concept of the "atlas of Islam," which it developed further. The climates (iqlÄ«m) it describes are no longer those of Ptolemean geography, but, reflecting the Iranian tradition, refer to geographical entities or "countries." Also reflecting the author's background--whose most common nisba is al-FÄrisÄ«--Iran holds a favoured position on this work. Published in 1870, the present edition by M.J. de Goeje was the first volume in the first series of the Bibliotheca Geographorum Arabicorum.
