Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Caption: Map of Yemen. Unhelpfully and unannounced, the map blends 19th-century transcriptions of the present-day Arabic names and places with locations from a Latin translation of the 1st-century Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, including untranslated Latin explanations of the extent of the kingdom of "Charibael" (Karab'il). It also mistakes the text in placing Azania (the ancient Swahili Coast) directly under "Charibael", when the text of the periplus places it under the king's vassals at Mocha. |
