Back to Vatican Library, Rome, al-Sufi Manuscript Ross.1033
Referenced on p.37, The Moors - The Islamic West - 7th-15th Centuries AD by David Nicolle:
A copy of Al-Sufi's Kitab al-Sufar, Books of Fixed Stars, made in Ceuta in AD 1224; Perseus, and Cepheus.
This crude manuscript comes from northern Morocco.
It includes a figure wielding a straight sword, and another wearing a distinctive helmet with an extended neck guard.
