What is Geography at the Crossroads: The Nuzhat al-mushtāq fī ikhtirāq al-āfāq of al-Idrīsī about?

The papers assembled here do not represent a record of discussions within the network (having been in most cases developed significantly after the network ended), and they are intended to cover a smaller range of topics, and a shorter time-span, but to do so in more depth than was possible at a conference and associated meetings. Nevertheless they aim to address the same questions about the relationship between maps and geographical thought in Latin Christendom and the Arabic-Islamic world that were considered by the network, for -as should be evident from the following pages -these questions remain open, inviting a range of responses and approaches.On behalf of the contributors, I thank Surekha Davies and Asa Mittman for welcoming this volume into their series. Along with an anonymous reader, they provided valuable criticism and guidance which significantly improved the work presented here. Finally, I would like to thank Wendel Scholma, Peter Buschman, and the production team at Brill for all their assistance with the last stages of publication.
