EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Map of the South of Russia and Azerbaijan" created by Al Istakhri in the 10th century. Crafted on vellum, this ancient map is housed in the Egyptian National Library in Cairo, Egypt.

The intricate details depicted on this manuscript offer a glimpse into the past, revealing not only geographical information but also descriptions of roads, cities, and monuments throughout the Islamic world. This invaluable resource serves as a testament to Al Istakhri's dedication to documenting and understanding our ever-changing planet. The delicate Arabic script adorning this map adds an element of elegance to its historical significance. Its inclusion of Azerbaijan highlights its importance as a key region within both Russian and Islamic history. As we marvel at this exquisite artifact through Fine Art Finder's lens, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its role in preserving knowledge from centuries ago.
