The map of the Haram al-Sarif from Jerusalem in the work of Ibn al-Sabbah (15th century): translation, study and their implications
Abstract
The illustrations contained in the rihla hiyaziya already attributed to Ibn al-Sabbah are a testimony of the travel of this mudejar, who lived in the fifteenth century and early sixteenth century, around the places cited in the images during his pilgrimage to Mecca and other holy places of Islam. This article gives details of one of the maps that represent the Haram al-Sarif of Jerusalem, with the mosque al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock. A map, like the other illustrations in the work, serves as explanatory complement to the self narrative and it is detailed using a fusha Arabic language full of andalusian dialectalism.
