English: Depiction of
Mansa Musa, ruler of the
Mali Empire in the 14th century, from a 1375
Catalan Atlas of the known world (mapamundi), drawn by Abraham Cresques of Mallorca. Musa is shown holding a gold nugget and wearing a European-style crown.
The section to the right translates as:
Musa Mali, Lord of Guinea. So abundant is the gold which is found in his country that he is the richest and most noble king in all the land.[1]
Literally, in the text he is called musse melly.
