Yemen, which was ruled by the Rasulids (A.H. 626-858 [1228-1454]), is located in a key position for Indian Ocean trade, and was famous for its agricultural productivity. However, we don't know details about Yemen under the Rasulidss during the 13th century, except for the port of Aden. In this paper, I analyzed the feature of regions in Yemen based on a new historical source, which was entitled Nur al-Ma'arif Nuzum wa Qawanin wa A'raf al-Yaman fi al-'Ahd al-Muzaffari al-Warif and included records of a supply of cooking ingredients in the Rasulid Court. Through this examination, I demonstrated the details of economic activities, such as special products of various regions and their distribution in Yemen. At first, I extracted cooking ingredients that contained information relating to the supply origin, and I analyzed the frequency of the products supply origin and destination by using numerical data. Hence, I discovered that the ports of Aden and Zabid acted as trade centers for various products. In addition, I classified these supply origins into four regions, Tihama, the Southern Mountain Region, Aden and its periphery, and the Northern Mountain Region, and discovered their specialties. Tihama and the Southern Mountain Region had special products according to their climatic conditions. Aden acted as the center for various types of merchandise from the Indian Ocean. On the other hand, the Northern Mountain Region was rarely mentioned in this source due to geographical and political reasons.
