‘Kitāb Gharāʾib al-funūn wa-mulaḥ al-ʿuyūn’ / The Book of Curiosities of the Sciences and Marvels for the Eyes
Illustration of a Waq-Waq Tree: “The Waq Waq are mythical lands, associated with trees bearing humanoid fruits, which were sometimes located in Africa and sometimes in the eastern Indian Ocean.”
Kitāb Gharāʾib al-funūn wa-mulaḥ al-ʿuyūn, known as the Book of Curiosities. The manuscript is a copy, probably made in Egypt in the late 12th or early 13th century, of an anonymous work compiled in the first half of the 11th century in Egypt. The treatise is extraordinarily important for the history of science, especially for astronomy and cartography, and contains an unparalleled series of diagrams of the heavens and maps of the earth.

You must not be a man like other men: not for yourself, only for others; for you there is no more happiness except in yourself, in your art. O God, give me strength to overcome myself, nothing must hold me to this life.
—Beethoven
