About This Book
The author narrates overland and coastal travels through Morocco, describing towns, fortifications, markets, landscapes, and regional customs, with particular attention to urban life, military and maritime features, and medical episodes that lead to interactions with local governors and the imperial court. Observations on commerce, hospitality, legal and religious practices, and social conditions among different communities are interwoven with practical travel notes and complaints about official treatment at home. Appendices present letters, certificates, and documents supporting the narrative.
