Curious but not as we might have hoped.

Announced on the 4th cover as "one of the most curious published in Arabic," I thought the story would be very original, saw the title.
Well not at all! The author, a Christian Arab who recounts 15 years of travel (1668-1683), 100 pages, it's really very little, embellished with an introduction and notes. Although some features of the Americas emerged with some interest (mercury mines, silver, these stories there ...); the story gives the impression of being a summary or synthesis.

It may, in my opinion, happened on this trip (ur) without missing much. On 1000 miles of Ibn Battuta.
