The primary requirement of the traveler is a list of the places he will be passing through or by; in the medieval period when travel was mostly by sea the need was met by lists of coastal towns. These lists were readily converted into diagrams of the type on the back cover, which shows, along the bottom, the sequence of seven coastal towns from Haifa in Palestine to Damietta at the eastern corner of the Egyptian delta. From Jaffa in the centre a road leads inland to Jerusalem, which is allowed an expanded scale and considerable detail: from Jerusalem another road is shown going off to Damascus at roughly the correct angle and in roughly the right relationship to the River Jordan and the Dead Sea. However, the presentation of a right·angled piece of coast line as straight brings the Nile into line with the spine of the book, and Cairo up against Jerusalem (lop right-hand corner) so that the map cannot be said to be a real success.
