Founders

Named as founders

Who the records name as founding it.

What this means

An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.

Where

Located in

The places its record gives — a location, not a claim about what happened there.

Located in, not held here: Fez

Nearby

Places nearby

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

Computed See Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and its neighbours on the atlas

More institutions in Islam

The institutions this collection holds that are most widely recorded.

What this means

Listed because they are institutions in Islam, as this one is — not because either record names the other. Being on the same shelf is not a connection, an influence or a sequence.
