Africa (Mahdia?)

The 53rd flag mentioned and illustrated in the Book of All Kingdoms is attributed to Africa, a city(?) apparently in current Libya or Tunisia. This as depicted in the 2005 Spanish illustrated transcription, a white flag with purple crescent pointing to the hoist, in the ogival default shape of this source. The anonymous author of Book of All Kingdoms describes the flag thus: "E el rey de África á por señales un pendón blanco con una luna cárdena atal." (And the king of Africa has for device a white pendon with a purple moon like this.)

National Geographic (1917) identifies this as Mahdia, Tunisia (p.393). According to Wikipedia Mahdia in medieval times was capital city of Ifriqiya, the former Roman province of Africa (meaning not the whole continent but the former Cartaginian lands in Tunisia and Libya, and a bit of Algeria).

The 54th flag mentioned and illustrated in the Book of All Kingdoms is attributed to Tunez, Tunis in English. This as depicted in the 2005 Spanish illustrated transcription, a white flag with black crescent pointing to the hoist, in the ogival default shape of this source. The anonymous author of Book of All Kingdoms describes the flag thus: "El rey dende á por señales un pendón blanco con una luna prieta tal." (And the king thereof has for device a white pendon with a black moon like this.)
