His great-grandfather, Idrisi II., "Biamrillah," a member of the great princely house which had reigned for a time as caliphs in north-west Africa, was prince of Malaga, and likewise laid claim to the supreme title (Commander of the Faithful).
An epitome of Idrisi's geography, in the original Arabic, was printed, with many errors, in 1592 at the Medicean press in Rome, from a MS.

 The Idrisi Legend
A Muslim scholar of international reputation in the Mediterranean world of his day, Abu Abd Allah Muhammed al-Idrisi (1100-1166 A.D.) was born in a town on the North African coast, probably contemporary Ceuta, at that time, like much of Andalucia (southern Spain) and western North Africa, part of the Almoravid state.
Based on direct field studies as well as archival sources, the maps and texts that resulted from that collaborative effort served as primary reference material for over 500 years.
It is to this spirit of collaboration in geographic inquiry that the IDRISI software system is dedicated.

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.

 Software Licensing FAQs
IDRISI requires the installation of a license file which is unique to the computer it is running on.
If IDRISI is installed on a secondary drive, it may cause confusion in the generation of the locking code and subsequently the license file.
There are two types of client installations; a ‘full install,’ which installs all components of IDRISI on the hard drive of the client, and a ‘thin client,’ which installs only the system files needed to run a client.

 A Review of IDRISI32 - Features
Idrisi is a strong candidate to supplement your main GIS with image and raster analysis functions.
The Idrisi documentation suggests that anisotropic cost modeling could include "point source pollution studies,...and possibly oil spill monitoring and projection." You should be very careful here: the ad-hoc approach taken by Idrisi for anisotropic cost modeling does not necessarily correspond to any realistic model of pollution flow or dispersion.
Idrisi has a rich set of capabilities for resampling images, converting their data types, windowing them, and resizing them.

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.
