More about the book

The travelogue offers a profound exploration of the Ottoman Empire and Egypt through the eyes of Indian scholar Shibli Nu'mani, who sought rare manuscripts for his biographies on Islamic figures. His six-month journey in 1892 reveals insights into educational systems, cultural practices, and daily life, capturing the essence of a transformative era. The first English translation includes the author's letters, contemporary reviews, and detailed annotations, enriching the reader's understanding of intellectual networks and historical changes in the region.
