He was one of the most important cartographers of the early 18th century and a major figure in making Paris a center of cartographic science. At the time de L'Isle was engaged in cartographic research, the prestige of a cartographer and the authority of his maps were generally gauged by the veracity of his sources, which were based on reporting by explorers and travelers. The map by de L'Isle shown here was published in 1707 and indicates the various kingdoms in northwest Africa and Arabia, with their borders clearly demarcated. Some of the discursive labels on the African peoples are interesting: the inhabitants of the Lumptunes Desert (in present-day Nigeria) are described as \"superb and brutal;\" \"Falasian or Exiled Fugitive Jews\" live in the Kingdom of Changala; and toward the lower left are the Bokkemeale who trade \"elephant teeth\" with their neighbors, the Bakké-Bakké. Towns, oases, and settlements are noted. In the area of Qatar is a town labeled \"Catema.\" The pearl banks of the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf are also shown. Scale is indicated in three measures: Turkish common miles, nautical leagues, and French common leagues.\u003cbr\u003eCreated by Active Desrosiers, Guillaume De L'isle in 1707.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitle devised, in English, by Library staff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Map scale approximately 1:9,200,000\"--Note extracted from World Digital Library.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal resource extent: 1 map : hand colored ; 48 x 59 centimeters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal resource at: Qatar National Library.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContent in French.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription based on data extracted from World Digital Library, which may be extracted from partner institutions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMap Subjects\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relicmaps.com\/search?q=Arabian+Gulf\u0026amp;type=product\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003eArabian Gulf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relicmaps.com\/search?q=Arabian+Peninsula\u0026amp;type=product\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003eArabian Peninsula\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relicmaps.com\/search?q=Persian+Gulf\u0026amp;type=product\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003ePersian Gulf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relicmaps.com\/search?q=Red+Sea\u0026amp;type=product\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003eRed Sea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relicmaps.com\/search?q=Active+Desrosiers\u0026amp;type=product\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003eActive Desrosiers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relicmaps.com\/search?q=Guillaume+De+L%27isle\u0026amp;type=product\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003eGuillaume De L'isle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relicmaps.com\/search?q=1707\u0026amp;type=product\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003e1707\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e ","brand":"Historical Hometown LLC","offers":[{"title":"27.5 in. x 35.1 in.
