This book focuses on the years 700 to 1500, a period when powerful dynasties governed both regions, to document the relationship between the Islamic and Chinese worlds before the arrival of the Europeans. Through a close analysis of the maps, geographic accounts, and travelogues compiled by both Chinese and Islamic writers, the book traces the development of major contacts between people in China and the Islamic world and explores their interactions on matters as varied as diplomacy, commerce, mutual understanding, world geography, navigation, shipbuilding, and scientific exploration. When the Mongols ruled both China and Iran in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, their geographic understanding of each other's society increased markedly. This rich, engaging, and pioneering study offers glimpses into the worlds of Asian geographers and mapmakers, whose accumulated wisdom underpinned the celebrated voyages of European explorers like Vasco da Gama. 517 3 $aMapping the Chinese & Islamic Worlds 606 $aDiscoveries in geography$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCartography$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aChina$xCivilization$y960-1644 607 $aIslamic Empire$xCivilization 607 $aChina$xRelations$zIslamic Empire 607 $aIslamic Empire$xRelations$zChina 615 0$aDiscoveries in geography$xHistory 615 0$aCartography$xHistory 676 $a303.48/251017670902 700 $aPark$b Hyunhee$f1972-$01056564 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452661603321 996 $aMapping the Chinese and Islamic worlds$92491038 997 $aUNINA
