The paper presents the reconstruction of methods of great Arab-Islamic scholar al-Mas'udi in his work «The Meadows of Gold…». The comparative analysis of the material on the naval raids of the Rus' in al-Mas'udi's text and the works of other Arab geographers leads the author to the hypothesis that the story of «Russian naval raid» on al-Andalus is nothing more than al-Mas'udi's speculative deduction based on the cartographical image of Europe typical of the Arab science of that period.
В статье представлена реконструкция методов работы великого арабо-мусульманского ученого ал-Мас'уди на примере его труда «Золотые копи…» Сравнительный анализ материала о морских походах русов в тексте ал-Мас'уди и работах других арабских географов привел автора публикации к гипотезе, согласно которой «морской поход русов» на ал-Андалус не более чем результат умозрительного заключения ал-Мас'уди, основанного на картографическом образе Европы, типичном для арабской науки того периода.
