Hardcover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. First edition with the 5 litohographic folding plates. French translation of a travelogue written in Arabic by Sheikh Mohammed Ibn Omar El-Tounsy (Al-Tunisi), who served as chief reviewer of translations of medical texts translated from European languages into Arabic at the School of Medicine in Cairo. Translated by Dr Nicholas Perron, the Cairo School of Medicine's director and a member of the Antiquities and Egyptian Society of Paris. Mohammed the son of Omar (1789-1857) was raised in a wealthy merchant family, when he was sixteen, Mohammed moved to Cairo to seek out his father who had been absent for some time. As part of this search and his broader curiosity, Mohammed visited the then independent Muslim Sultanate of Darfur, and ended up living in and around the region for some eight or more years. Al-Tunisi is supposed to have given Dr Perron Arabic lessons after he returned from Darfur to Cairo, in which city the Sheikh eventually died. Perron encouraged Al-Tunisi/Tounsy to write down a record of his travels in the Sultanate, and Mohammed obliged, penning a large volume in Arabic brimming with observations and experiences. Among a great deal of other topics the book includes a section about geomancers in Darfur. Ships from U.A.E.

Ouadây, aka as Ouaddaï or Wadai, is an area, a former Sultanate, in the east of Lake Chad and the border with Sudan. The Wadai Empire, or Sultanate, known locally as Burgu or Birgu, emerged in the 17th century through conquest of the ruling Tunjur people of the area, displacing them from the lands of the Sultanate of Darfur. It was overthrown by France in 1909/1912 and reconstituted under France in 1935. When Chad became independent in 1960 it became part of that new state. Its capital is Abéché.
