 * If the original wasn't North-up, I don't think we should rotate it just because. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 21:25, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

 * This it not the original map by Al-Idrisi, but a 20th century copy by Konrad Miller. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skimel (talk • contribs)
 * I don't mind that entirely, though the original would have been preferred. Although that said... 1929? ...How is this out of copyright in the US? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 16:06, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * We actually do have the original, but some assembly required, as well as a 19th century assembly of the map that keeps the Arabic labels. Also . Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 16:23, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Adam Cuerden thanks for the links, that's very interesting. This makes me wonder if the whole map has ever been done by Al-Idrisi, or if it is a modern recreation. Skimel (talk) 10:09, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

 * I would greatly prefer one of the source documents (themselves copies, but at a step less removed) used by Miller. I think the latin captions and redrawing are likely to mislead readers about the content of the original. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:40, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
