The book explores the regions of Timbuctoo and Housa, detailing the author's experiences, observations on local cultures, trade, governance, and customs. It provides a unique window into the African interior during a time when such knowledge was not widely accessible. The opening of the work introduces El Hage Abd Salam Shabeeny, a merchant and pilgrim, who recounts his journeys from Tetuan to Timbuctoo and Housa, along with his experiences as a trader and the notable events he experienced during his travels. It sets the stage for the detailed descriptions of the geography, population, and trade practices of these territories that follow in the book. Shabeeny’s firsthand accounts are intertwined with his insights into religion, societal structures, local wildlife, and the economy, presenting a comprehensive view of the cultural and commercial landscape of West Africa in that era.
