This fascinating hand colored map depicts Asia during 9th and 10th centuries.  This period corresponds with the Song dynasty of China and the Manchurian expansion in to Mongolia. This is also the period of the Islamic empires under the Caliphates. All text is in German, but the title roughly translates as “Asia at the middle of the 9th up to the end of the 10th century.” Map was originally part of the 1855 edition of Karl von Spruner’s Historical Hand Atlas.
