摘要：Summary: Abū al-Fidā’s geographic work is a descriptive world geography that does not contain any maps, but it is equipped with coordinate data borrowed from the Arabic translations of Ptolemy which makes it possible to give cartographic reconstruction of Abū al-Fidā’s picture of the world. This paper investigates the information of Abū al-Fidā’ about the Black Sea. In his coordinate data, four groups are detected in which the points are represented in a general coordinate system that distinguishes them from other groups. Further study of Abū al-Fidā’s geographic data is supposed to be carried out separately for each of the groups.
