Abstract

The well-known work Muʿǧam al-buldān (Dictionary of the countries), which was completed by the geographer and scholar Yāqūt al-Rūmī al-Ḥamawī (d. 626/1229) a year before his death, provides valuable information on the many place-names collected by this author. Such information is not limited only to geographical aspects, but also involves literary and biographical ones, and has been addressed in works related to al-Andalus. My purpose in the present article is to make a first approach to the image that Yāqūt projects of the Maghreb through some specific examples, making a brief tour of the sources he used, and especially the Andalusī geographer Abū ʿUbayd al-Bakrī (d. 487/1094), whom Yāqūt extensively quoted throughout his work.
