Description
Trickster Travels: A Sixteenth-century Muslim Between Worlds
Natalie Zemon Davis explores the remarkable life and work of Al-Hasan al-Wazzan, a Renaissance writer who navigated two worlds. Born in Granada to a Muslim family, he was captured by Christian pirates and imprisoned by the pope before living a European life of scholarship.
Historian Davis offers a fresh interpretation of al-Wazzan's extraordinary life, tracing the fragmentary and often contradictory traces that remain from his time. This study sheds new light on a fascinating figure who left behind a legacy in the geography of Africa and beyond.
