Note 36 — INDEX
Reading edition
Abu Abdallah Muhammad Al Idrísi, a native of Ceuta in Morocco and descended from the royal family of the Idrísis of that country, settled at the court of Roger II. of Sicily, where and at whose desire he wrote his book The Nuzhat-ul-Mushták or The Seeker’s Delight. Elliot’s History of India, I: 74. Almost all Al Idrísi’s special information regarding Sindh and Western India is from Al-Jauhari governor of Khurásán (a.d. 892–999), whose knowledge of Sindh and the Indus valley is unusually complete and accurate. Compare Reinaud’s Abulfeda, lxiii. ↑
