Focusing on the rich cultural and political landscape of northern Africa, this work by Leo Africanus, an Arab diplomat of the early 16th century, offers valuable insights into the region's diverse societies and religions. Supported by Pope Leo X, Africanus's accounts provide a unique perspective on the historical context of exploration, as published by the Hakluyt Society, which has been instrumental in making such early exploration narratives accessible.
