Under Harun al-Rashid the empire of the Abbasid Caliphs was of greater extent than at any other period. His reputation in the West is sufficiently attested by the fact that Charlemagne, about the time he was crowned emperor of the Romans in 800 AD, sent an embassy to Caliph to obtain facilities for trade and for pilgrimage in the Holy Land. The ambassadors were two Christians and a Jew, and among the gifts they brought was an organ. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).
