Islamic geographer. Born in Ceuta, Morocco. Studied in Cordoba, Spain, and traveled to Asia Minor, Africa, Spain, and France. Invited by the Norman king of Sicily, Roger II, he created a flat celestial map and a world map in the capital Palermo, and wrote a commentary on them, "The Joys of Traveling the World." He later wrote an even more extensive geography book, "The Garden of the People," which he dedicated to Guglielmo I (1120-1166), but it has been lost and no longer exists. In the international academic city of Palermo, he acquired a wealth of knowledge about Western Christian countries, and added accurate knowledge about places as far away as Scandinavia and the Atlantic islands. His world map is known for its completeness. [Keishiro Sato] [References] |Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
イスラムの地理学者。モロッコのセウタに生まれる。スペインのコルドバで学び、小アジア、アフリカ、スペイン、フランスを旅行した。シチリア島のノルマン王ルッジェーロ(ロジェール)2世に招かれ、首都パレルモで平面天体図、世界地図をつくり、その解説書『世界踏破の愉悦』を著した。のちさらに大部な地理書『有衆の庭』を著し、グリエルモ1世Guglielmo Ⅰ(1120―1166)に献じたが、散逸して現存しない。国際的な学術都市パレルモにおいて西欧キリスト教国に関する豊富な知識を入手し、遠くスカンジナビア、大西洋島嶼(とうしょ)に至るまでの正確な知識を加筆している。その世界地図は完備をもって知られる。 [佐藤圭四郎] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
