Description

Explore a rare historical perspective with this collection of translated writings from Muhammad ibn 'Uthman al-Miknasi. Covering his travels from 1779 to 1788, this book offers a unique look at the relationship between Christendom and Islam during the pre-modern period. As an Arab-Muslim ambassador, al-Miknasi provides a comparative viewpoint that is uncommon for his era. Readers gain access to detailed accounts of court life, government offices, and religious buildings. Through his three travelogues, you can follow his journey as he documents the customs, people, and cities he encountered. The text also includes his observations on historical events and ransom negotiations, making it a valuable resource for those studying Mediterranean history, diplomacy, and Middle Eastern culture. This Routledge publication serves as a primary source for understanding the social and political landscapes of the late 18th century.
