Abstract

"Arabic Geographers on The Transcaucasian Regions – As Followers The Greek ‘periegesis’ Genre" Peoples lived in the teritorry of Azarbaijan as reflected in ancient and early mediaeval sources were concerned in the former paper presented by the author in the last conference held at the Ambassy of Azarbaijan Republic in Budapest. As for the Old Greek texts were analysed there, the Arabic geographers are to be discussed in the recent paper. The Greek periegesis as a particular type of historical and geographical texts has not gained much consideration. The main texts are concerned are as follows: Kitab al Mamalik wal-Masalik by Ibn Hordádbeh (the towns in countryside of Atharbaijan; the way to Armenia; – Kitáb al-Mamálik by Ibn al Faqíh al-Hamadání (description of Adharbaijan); – Mu‘gham ash- Shu‘ara by Abu Abdallah Yakut ar-Rumi; (description of Atharbaijan and neighbouring regions); – Kitab al Mamalik wal- Masalik by al-Istakhri (descripiton of Armenia, Arran and Atharbaijan written as commentars to the maps by al-Balkhi; – Kitab al Mamalik wal-Masalik by Ibn-Hanqual also commentars to maps. – All the texts are to be cited in edition by De Goeje and in Arabic original with the transcription is accepted in orientalistics. Although the Hungarian literature in the field has become far richer, thanks to works by Mihály Kmoskó, edited by István Zimonyi, there has been no attention paid to the parallels in Arabic geography with the Greek genre periegesis. Therefore, this is the point to be focused in the paper.
