Kitab al-Rawd al-Mitar

Kitab al-Rawd al-Mitar

Kitab al-Rawd al-Mitar, "The Book of the Fragrant Garden", is a fifteenth-century Arabic geography by Muhammad bin Abd al-Munim al-Himyari that is a primary source for Spain in the Middle Ages, though it is based in part on the earlier account by Muhammad al-Idrisi. It was edited and translated into French by E. Levi-Provençal in 1938 [Levi Provençal and al-Munim al-Himyari, "La Peninsule iberique au Moyen age d'après le Kitab al-Rawd al-mitar d'Ibn Abd al-Mun'im al-Himayari" (Leiden, E. J. Brill) 1938] and into Spanish by Maria Pilar Maestro González in 1963. [Maestro González, "Kitab ar-Rawd al-Mitar" (Valencia) 1963.]
