		It was, therefore, at Roger's instigation and patronage that Abu Abdullah Ibn Idrisi (born 1099 at Ceuta) was summoned to his court to collaborate with him in the compilation of a book containing all available data on the latitude and longitude of towns, the distances between them, and their distribution in climate zones.
		Idrisi's map of 1154 took the form of a silver tablet, probably measuring 3.5 X 1.5 meters (12 X 5 feet); later, in 1160, this tablet fell into the hands of a mob and was smashed to pieces.
		Idrisi's works are of exceptional quality when considered in comparison with other geographical writings of their period, partly by reason of their richness of detail, but mainly because of the afore mentioned 'scientific method' that was employed, a procedure which was indeed unlike that adopted by most Latin scholars of that era.

		Idrisi was not, however, able to put the countries around the Baltic into proper shape, even though his notes show him to have been familiar with a great many places there, as in the rest of Europe.
		The first translation known of Idrisi's work was published in Rome only in 1619, and then in a very much shortened form (the translator did not even known the author's name).
		Idrisi, having no good maps at his disposal, based his own on routes and distances between places, which he distorted by forcing them in to the conformity of zones.

		For this reason, it is necessary to investigate the history of the Idrisi state against the background of the political history of 'Asir and the general political scene of the period.
		Thus, the history of the Idrisi state is also the history of the Idrisi family in 'Asir, and their position in the wider Idrisi network and the Muslim world as a whole.
		In the case of the Idrisi state, it may be argued that after two generations of quietism (in the time of the son and grandson of Ibn Idris), there came a leader who was willing and able to put into practice the activism embodied in the tradition.
