If the original wasn't North-up, I don't think we should rotate it just because. Adam Cuerden(

Adam Cuerden thanks for the links, that's very interesting. This makes me wonder if the whole map has ever been done by Al-Idrisi, or if it is a modern recreation.

I would greatly prefer one of the source documents (themselves copies, but at a step less removed) used by Miller. I think the latin captions and redrawing are likely to mislead readers about the content of the original. —
