Author: Zakarīyā ibn Muḥammad al-Qazwīnī (1203-1283)

A significant medieval encyclopedic work, Persian manuscript.

An influential, often illustrated text describing the celestial spheres, geography, fauna, flora, and creatures in two main parts. The first part describes the heavens (stars, planets, angels), and the second part discusses the earthly world (geography, plants, animals, and humanity).

Significance: This is one of the most famous Islamic cosmographies, frequently copied and read for centuries. It combines scientific, philosophical, and fantastic observations, documenting both natural history and mythical, imaginary beings.
