This attractively printed, copiously illustrated work consists of nine papers by six authors, all specialists in one or another aspect of Arabic maritime history or geographical literature.We have no written records of when the principles of Arabic navigation evolved because our earliest written sources are manuals by two Arab sea captains who lived in the late 15th and early 16th centuries of our era, namely, Ibn Mājid and Sulaymān al-Mahrī, the latter making heavy use of the writings of the former.These sources and later logbooks
