“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”

Abu Abdullah Muhammad al-Idrisi al-Qurtubi al-Hasani as-Sabti

I have a problem (!)

Whenever I read something historical that either ridicules, vilifies or downright insults something/someone…it makes me think WHY?

Abu Abdullah Muhammad al-Idrisi al-Qurtubi al-Hasani as-Sabti and his 1154 map have provoked all the above in mainstream historians.

I’m thinking I have an inkling :o)
