Detail of page from the Chronology of Ancient Nations by Al-Biruni. Image shows an individual from the Ibn Abi Zakariyya religious group being punished for sodomy. Depicted lying face down with his arms and feet bound, the surrounding text explains that the punishment for such behaviour was to be dragged face down for eighteen metres. As such, the figure on the right can be seen holding a rope connected to the victim's feet, while a cloud of dust above him indicates movement. According to Al-Biruni, although Sodomy was forbidden by the group, intercourse with boys was encouraged. - This particular manuscript is thought to have been copied in 1307 and was the archetype for the three later versions which were used by Edward Sachau to translate the document from Arabic into English during the nineteenth century.
