A circular world map centred on the Turkic lands, found in the Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk, the first dictionary of the Turkic language, which Maḥmūd al-Kāshgharī wrote to teach Turkic to Arabs. The manuscript is in the Millet Library (Ali Emîrî Arabî 4189); publishing its image requires the institution's permission on application, so this record is bibliographic only.
