An engrossing study of Leo Africanus and his famous book, which introduced Africa to European readers

Al-Hasan al-Wazzan--born in Granada to a Muslim family that in 1492 went to Morocco, where he traveled extensively on behalf of the sultan of Fez--is known to historians as Leo Africanus, author of the first geography of Africa to be published in Europe (in 1550). He had been captured by Christian pirates in the Mediterranean and imprisoned by the pope, then released, baptized, and allowed a European life of scholarship as the Christian writer Giovanni Leone. In this fascinating new book, the distinguished historian Natalie Zemon Davis offers a virtuoso study of the fragmentary, partial, and often contradictory traces that al-Hasan al-Wazzan left behind him, and a superb interpretation of his extraordinary life and work.

In Trickster Travels, Davis describes all the sectors of her hero's life in rich detail, scrutinizing the evidence of al-Hasan's movement between cultural worlds; the Islamic and Arab traditions, genres, and ideas available to him; and his adventures with Christians and Jews in a European community of learned men and powerful church leaders. In depicting the life of this adventurous border-crosser, Davis suggests the many ways cultural barriers are negotiated and diverging traditions are fused.

WONDERFUL PRODUCT
I wish that I could give this product a 10 instead of five. I started using this Eczema Honey Serum in December of 2022. I was experiencing some difficulties with my face. My face was dry, and itchy. I would scratch and scratch my face. Needless to say, as a result of my scratching, I started getting black spots on my face, very embarrassing. I started using this serum and thankfully, the itching stopped and the dark spots went away. I use the serum morning and night. The serum has a very light fragrance. It goes on like an oil but quickly absorbs into the skin. I like that this is a clean product.

Good moisturizer, not too oily.
I often times use this in the morning before starting my day and it tends to really keep it moisturized for at least 4-5 hours. This is someone who has really dry skin and it constantly always having to remoisturize throughout the day. Nonetheless, I would still keep up water intake and try not to touch your face too much after applying. Quality is great and it has a natural smell that is not overpowering. Would def recommend.
