Kitab al-Rawd al-Mitar


Kitab al-Rawd al-Mitar,, is a fourteenth-century Arabic geography by Muhammad bin Abd al-Munim al-Himyari that is a primary source for the history of Muslim Spain in the Middle Ages, though it is based in part on the earlier account by Muhammad al-Idrisi. Very little is known about the author, except that he was close to the Hafsid dynasty. It was edited and translated into French by E. Levi-Provençal in 1938 and into Spanish by Maria Pilar Maestro González in 1963.
