Summary: "A Voyage to Abyssinia" by Jerónimo Lobo is a historical account written in the late 17th century, detailing the experiences of a Jesuit missionary's travels to Abyssinia, now known as Ethiopia.

After arriving in Abyssinia, he shares the challenges posed by treacherous landscapes and hostile natives, along with personal anecdotes that illustrate the customs and character of the Abyssinian people.
