Kitab al-Rawd al-Mitar
Kitab al-Rawd al-Mitar, (The Book of the Fragrant Garden), 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[1] and into Spanish by Maria Pilar Maestro González in 1963.[2]

gollark: I mean that because one political group says "climate change is a problem", the other one then does the opposite and goes "no, it's [fine/fake/safe to ignore]".
gollark: Oh no.
gollark: That climate change is a hoax? Maybe the "other side" politically saying it's a problem.
gollark: It's not like people don't ever, but it doesn't *help* if something is a distant problem, somewhat non-obvious, and hard to individually affect.
gollark: I mean, zombies, I suppose.
