This 19th century map is an early study of the history and spread of the faith of Islam from Africa to Indonesia.
The map is both a portrayal and a historical study of Islam, from its very earliest days, through the early period of the successor caliphs to the great powers that arose later, the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire. A chart on the lower right shows the timelines and geographical locations of the great Islamic powers and dynasties. Another panel on the upper right writes a short history of Islam.
Fascinating early study of the religion.
