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.

Most amazing skincare products on the market.
Dr.Melaxin glow rice toner is amazing. I'm 68 and my skin has never looked or felt so amazing. Dr. Melaxin products are the best out there and affordable at the same time.

Glowy, Smooth Skin After Use
I love the Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Glow Rice Toner! After using it, my skin feels tighter, smoother, and refreshing. I’ve noticed my acne has cleared up significantly, and my skin has a healthy glowing look afterward.

So Gentle on Skin – Switched from Witch Hazel
I’m honestly obsessed with this. It’s incredibly soft and gentle on my skin, and I find myself reaching for it over everything else now. I used to use witch hazel, but this is much less harsh and feels a lot more comfortable on my face. Since switching, my skin just feels calmer and more balanced. I’ve officially made the switch—highly recommend if you’re looking for a gentler alternative to traditional toners.
