This map accompanies a Hakluyt volume, which is a translation and analysis of a manuscript given to scholar and missionary, the Reverend George Percy Badger (1815-88) in 1860. The original text, in Arabic, is a history of the Sultanate of Oman, on the Arabian Peninsula, from 661 to 1856. Badger, fluent in Maltese and Arabic, describes the manuscript, in the preface to the volume, as ‘unique in the continuity and fullness of its narrative’.
