Summary
DescriptionZirid control circa 980 (version 2).png |
English: Extent of Zirid authority circa 980, after the largest gains made by Buluggin ibn Ziri. Note that many of the Zirid and Umayyad territories shown here were only held temporarily, as the political situation in the western Maghreb constantly changed during the 10th century,

1) Combination of two maps in the source to determine eastern border: This map combines the Zirid territories shown in both maps 10 and 11 of the source above. Map 11 shows Zirid territory extending up to Cyrenaica, whereas map 10 doesn't. The authors do not explain this difference explicitly. However, other text sources indicate that Buluggin ibn Ziri was given control of Tripolitania in 978 (see, among others, Abun-Nasr, Jamil (1987). "A history of the Maghrib in the Islamic period", p. 67) and some sources indicate that he also would have controlled cities as far as Ajdabiya:
For these reasons, the slight lack of clarity notwithstanding, it seemed reasonable to combine the two relevant maps of the Sluglett and Currie atlas, seeing as they fit with what sources say about the gains made during Buluggin's reign. Note that if for some reason the representation/combination of content from both maps of the Sluglett and Currie atlas is not desirable, another version of this map (version 3) has been uploaded showing only the territories illustrated in Map 10 (p.26).
