[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Though I am loathe to research and report here anymore due to the decline of scholarship on these forums you're a good guy Bru so here's for you. The top map is a copy of [b]Abraham Cresque the Jew[/b] of Palma's [i]Mappamundi[/i] originally made in 1375 and the bottom map is a copy/version of the Mappamundi delivered by request to a French king decades later. The text near the potentate roughly reads: [QUOTE][i]This Black lord is called Musa Mali, Lord of the Blacks of Guinea. So abundant is the gold which is found in his country that he is the richest and most noble king in all the land.[/i][/QUOTE]This map, a Jewish product, was a fresh breath of air in comparison with earlier maps breaking away from conventions that populated Africa with beasts of myth and nature placing "elephants where should be towns." Without Aragonese tolerance of Jews we'd not have the Mappamundi and its testament image of a "black as a pot" mulithamun of Saharan Kel taGelmust. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=004909;p=3#000135 [QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [qb] AlTakruri you have been holding out on us Bru this is suppose to be the same as this depicting Mansa Musa or another monarch at another time..?
