AbstractBased on an analysis of the Islamic literature and a comparison with the toponyms and archaeology of the region, this article contributes to the topography of Lepcis Magna by identifying the location of the village of Banu Hassan ten kilometres to the west of Lepcis, in the territory of Silin. A survey of the site, still known as Qaryat Banū Hassan, confirms its potential as the road station mentioned by both al-Idrīsī and al-‘Abdarī, though erroneously located by al-Idrisi to the east of Lepcis.

Abstract:
The medieval Arabic cartography of Africa outlined a paradoxical continent of facts, myth, and mystery. Ever since the great geographers such as al-Idrisi, al-ʿUmari, al-Masʿudi, and Ibn Battuta traveled to and wrote about Africa, the map of Black Africa became a combination of mystical and empirical knowledge, the result of, in the words of Paulo Fernando de Moraes Farias, “the interplay of the ideological and the cognitive.” These kinds of maps were very illustrative of certain classificatory categories in which Africans in general were known, and where cultural boundaries were drawn between more specific areas, such as Egypt and neighboring African kingdoms. Merchants and traders also contributed to the mapping of the frontier to Egypt's uppermost south, the vast territory known as bilāad al-sūdān.

CAPACIDADE DE USO DAS TERRAS DA BACIA DO RIBEIRÃO ÁGUA FRIA – BOFETE (SP) Sérgio CamposThiago Godinho dos SantosCristiane Lopes da SilvaZacarias Xavier de BarrosLincoln Gehring CardosoDepartamento de Engenharia Rural, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, Universidade Estadual Paulista, CP 237, CEP 18603-970, Botucatu - SP, E-mail: seca@fca.unesp.br. 1 RESUMO A determinação da capacidade de uso das terras numa bacia é muito importante para o planejamento e uso do solo, pois o uso inadequado e sem planejamento dessas terras provocam a baixa produtividade das culturas. Este trabalho visou definir as classes homogêneas de capacidade de uso da terra da bacia do Ribeirão Água Fria - Bofete (SP) para atender ao planejamento de práticas de conservação do solo desta área. A bacia situa-se entre as coordenadas geográficas 22o 58' 30`` a 23o 04' 30`` de latitude S e 48o 09' 30`` a 48o 18' 30`` de longitude W Gr., apresentando uma área de 9.180,12 hectares. A carta de capacidade de uso da terra da bacia foi elaborada a partir da carta clinográfica obtida por Santos et al. (1999), mapa pedológico do Estado de São Paulo (Oliveira et al., 1999), da tabela de julgamento de classes de capacidade de uso do solo (França, 1963) e das recomendações constantes no manual para levantamento utilitário do meio físico e classificação das terras no sistema de capacidade de uso (Lepsch et al., 1983). A discriminação, o mapeamento e a quantificação das áreas das classes e subclasses de capacidade de uso pelo Sistema de Informação Geográfica - IDRISI apresentaram os seguintes valores: IIIe,s - 517,020 ha (5,63%); IIIs - 863,150 ha (9,40%); IVe - 846,730 ha (9,23%); VIe - 871,110 ha (9,49%) e VIIe - 6082,115 ha (66,25%). Os resultados permitiram concluir que a bacia essencialmente constituída por 2/3 pela subclasse VIIe, ou seja, são terras que podem ser utilizadas por pastagens com uso moderado ou florestas, pois apresentam problemas complexos de erosão por causa de sua declividade. O Sistema de Informação Geográfica IDRISI permitiu através de seus módulos discriminar, mapear e quantificar as áreas das classes e subclasses de capacidade de uso das terras da bacia com rapidez e confiabilidade. UNITERMOS: Capacidade de uso, unidades de solo, classes de declive, bacia hidrográfica. CAMPOS, S., SANTOS, T.G., SILVA, C.L., BARROS, Z.X., CARDOSO, L.G. LAND USE CAPACITY OF AGUA FRIA STREAM BASIN – BOFETE (SP) 2 ABSTRACT The land use capacity determination is considered to be very important on land use planning, since its inadequate utilization can lead to low crop productivity. This work aimed to define the homogeneous classes of land use capacity of Agua Fria stream Basin – Bofete (SP) in order to help the soil conservation procedure planning in this area. The Basin is located from 22°58’30’’ to 23° 04’30’’ southern latitude and 48° 09’30’’ to 48°18’30’’ western longitude, in a 9180.12 ha area. The chart of land use capacity was established based on the clinographic chart by Santos et al. (1999), São Paulo state pedological map (Oliveira et al, 1999), class determination chart of soil use capacity (França, 1963) and the recommendations from the manual for physical environmental utilitary survey in the using capacity system (Lepsch et al, 1983). The determination, mapping and quantification of class and subclass areas of using capacity by the Geographic Information System – IDRISI presented the following values: IIIe,s – 517.020 ha (5.63%); IIIs 863.150 ha (9.40 %); IVe – 846.730 ha (9.23%); VIe – 871.110 ha (9.49 %) e VIIe – 6082.115 ha (66.25 %). The results allowed to conclude that the Basin is 2/3 essentially constituted by VIIe subclass, i.e., land that could be used for moderate grazing or forests, since it has complex erosion problems due to its slope. The Geographic Information System IDRISI by its modules enabled to discriminate, map and quantify the land use capacity class and subclass areas of the basin fast and reliably. KEY-WORDS: Using capacity, soil unit, sloping class, hidrographic basin.

Abstract:
Aim. To develop practical methodology of assessing the probability of establishment of adventive pests out- side of their native range of distribution, using specialized software. Methods. International standards for pest risk analysis ISPM No. 2, ISPM No. 11, ISPM No. 21, РМ 5/1(1), РМ 5/2(2), РМ 5/3(5), РМ 5/5(1) and Agro Atlas (Afonin et al., 2008), MapInfo v.11.0 (Pitney Bowes) and Idrisi Taiga (Сlarklabs) software. Results. The presence of host-plant species range and the correspondence of ecoclimatic conditions of Ukraine (as a pest risk analysis area) to the climate indices of the current area of distribution of such pests as Oemona hirta (lemon tree borer) and Thaumatotibia leucotreta (false codling moth) were studied using specifi ed software. The potential areas of establishment of these pests in Ukraine were defi ned. Conclusions. The effi ciency and convenience of me-thods of assessing the risk of establishment of adventive plant pests using Agro Atlas, MapInfo v.11.0 and Idrisi Taiga software, were proven. It was determined that a potential area of establishment of O. hirta is the sou-thern part of Odessa region, an inconsiderable part of south-west of Mykolayiv region, south-western territory of Kherson region and almost the entire territory of the Crimean Peninsula. A potential area of establishment of T. leucotreta is an inconsiderable territory of the Black Sea coast − Tarkhankut Penin- sula and Kerch Peninsula in the Crimea.

Abstract:
“Everything you ever wanted to know about the Arab-Islamic contribution togeography (but have had no time to learn up to now),” aptly describes SayyidMaqbool Ahmad‘s A History of Arab-Islamic Geography, which is a descriptionof the Arab-Islamic contribution to geography between the sixth and nineth centuries.To the uninitiated reader, the book may seem like a spider’s web; there isa guiding thread to follow, but that thread is hard to find and easy to lose.Barring language difficulty and the insipid organization of the text, the book ismonumental. It clarifies a number of misconceptions and provides authenticdetails about Arab-Islamic geography.The book is based on over 50 years of painstaking research of Arabicpalimpsests and chronicles and their translations into English and otherEuropean languages. It was the late Professor Hamilton Gibb of St. JohnsCollege (Oxford University), a shining light among Western Orientalists, whoasked Ahmad in 1945 for research on the subject. Following his mentor, Ahmadhas done a remarkable job of distilling much of the chaotic and contentious mattersrelating to Arab-Islamic geography. Never before has anyone attempted toprovide detailed “basic data” on Arab-Islamic geography. Contrary to whatmany Western Orientalists believe, the Arabs-in addition to being inheritorsand preservers of Greek, Indian, and Persian knowledge-made significant contributionsto geography. It was partly the contribution of Nasir al-Din Tusi(astronomy), al-Battani (astronomy), Mohammed Musa al-Khwarizmi (mathematics),Ibn al-Haytham (optics), Abul-Rayhan al-Biruni (astronomy, physics),Ibn Sina (medicine), Al-Jazari (mechanics), Al-Sharif al-Idrisi (geography), Al-Masudi (geography), Ibn al-Nafis (blood circulation), Ibn Majid (magnetic compass),and others to science and technology.that motivated the IndustrialRevolution of Europe.The book is organized into two parts and twenty-two chapters to present thevast literature by subject and chronological order. Part I of the book has threesections and nine chapters, which discuss the origins of scientific geography,astronomical and philosophical literature, reports of the explorers and Arabembassies, and regional discussions. These chapters are conclusive that Arab-Islamic scientific geography began with Al-Ma’mun (813-833 AD), who establishedthe first academy, known as Bayt al-Hikmu (the House of Wisdom). As aresult, in Baghdad after the middle of the ninth century, general and descriptivegeographical works began appearing. Included in this section are also chapterson the Iraqi and Balkhi school of geography. Chapters 10 through 15 discuss theimportant regional, philosophical, and astronomical geography works whichappeared in Baghdad. lbn Khurdadbih was the fit writer on the subject andhence can be called the father of Arab-Islamic geography. His Kirub ul-Musalikwu ul-Mumulik (Book of Roads and Kingdoms) is a classic.Two appendices, one concerning the Waqwaq Islands and the other concerningModification of Ptolemy’s Geography by Al-Idrisi, are the most revealingparts of the book because the location of the Waqwaq Islands and Al-Idrisi’smodification of Ptolemy’s map have long baffled Orientalists. Waqwaq Islands(ul-Juzur al-Wuqwuq) were fit mentioned in Ibn Khurdashbih’s Kitab ul-Musulik wu a1 -Mamulik. Appendix 2, Al-Idris’s modification of Ptolemy’s map, ...

Abstract:
Résumé La nappe alluvionnaire de Metline-Ras Jebel-Raf Raf (gouvernorat de Bizerte, côte Nord Est de la Tunisie), qui occupe une superficie de 35 km2, représente une ressource économique jugée prioritaire du fait qu’elle est utilisée dans les domaines d’irrigation et de consommation domestique. L’aire de la nappe est occupée essentiellement par des zones agricoles caractérisées par une utilisation de plus en plus importante des engrais chimiques qui représentent, en plus des rejets des zones industrielles, un risque permanent pour la qualité des eaux souterraines. L’étude de la vulnérabilité à la pollution par les polluants inorganiques de cette nappe a été effectuée en appliquant les méthodes DRASTIC standard (Aller et al., 1987; Engel et al., 1996), SINTACS (Civita, 1994) et SI (Ribeiro, 2000), avec l’aide des logiciels des systèmes d’information géographique, ARC/Info et Idrisi. Une comparaison statistique des cartes de vulnérabilité obtenues a été effectuée. Cette comparaison a montré une certaine ressemblance entre les résultats obtenus en utilisant les méthodes SINTACS et SI. En revanche, la carte DRASTIC standard s’avère différente par rapport aux autres.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the description of Sicily found in the large-scale twelfth-century Arabic geographical work, the Book of Roger, and enquires into the role this description played in the construction of the new Norman state under King Roger II (r. 1130-1154 CE). While Roger’s decision to commission the Book of Roger has traditionally been attributed to his intellectual curiosity and wish to appear as a philosopher king, this thesis will argue that the decision to commission the Book of Roger was part of a deliberate strategic and political program undertaken by Roger and his advisors to create a Norman state in the Mediterranean, drawing heavily on the multicultural traditions of twelfth-century Sicily. Although the Book of Roger is a geography of the entire oikumene (known world), Sicily is given a central position and is represented as an abundant paradise, both secure and prosperous. The description provides an unprecedented level of strategic and economic detail on the island regarding toponomy, settlement and agricultural and commercial output. The description is not without its limitations and is largely ‘people-less’; there is a dearth of information on population, religion and culture despite the multicultural nature of twelfth-century Sicily. I will argue that rather than oversights, these omissions were entirely deliberate, designed to present the centre of Roger’s kingdom as a homogeneous territory, a fact which was belied by circumstances on the ground. Despite the limitations of the text, this thesis will argue that the Book of Roger provides the most comprehensive geographical text on Sicily produced up to the twelfth century and well beyond. With this in mind, based on the modern critical edition of the book, I have completed an English translation of the description in the hopes this detailed text will be more greatly utilised by scholars working on Sicily in the Middle Ages. My English translation appears in Appendix I and there are excerpts taken from the translation throughout the body of the thesis. Finally, although Idrīsi’s original maps are beautifully drawn, they present a greatly simplified version of what is found in the text of the Book of Roger and therefore do not do justice to the work undertaken by the author. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) software, this thesis will for the first time provide a series of maps which reflect the rich data in Idrīsi’s description of Sicily in the twelfth century. It is my hope that these maps will prove useful to scholars working on the history and archeology of Sicily in both the Muslim and Norman periods.

Abstract:
La aparición del apóstol Santiago en algunos mapamundis medievales es incluso anterior al nacimiento del culto jacobeo en la actual España. Así, en los mapas llamados “beatos” debido a su autor original en el año 776, Beato de Liébana, la tradición de la predicación de Santiago en Hispania (la península ibérica) se manifiesta tanto textual como gráficamente. Tras la inventio o descubrimiento del sepulcro del apóstol (ca. 814-830), otros mapas medievales como los de Sawley, Ebstorf, Hereford o el de la abadía de Ramsey incorporarán referencias geográficas mucho más precisas, situando los restos de Santiago el Mayor no solo en España, sino más concretamente en Compostela. Destaca también la atención dedicada por el cartógrafo ceutí Al-Idrisi (1154) a Santiago de Compostela y su catedral como destino de peregrinación, demostrando que el culto jacobeo trascendió los límites geográficos y culturales del cristianismo europeo en la Edad Media.
