Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into 16th-century Abyssinia through the eyes of a Portuguese priest who accompanied a diplomatic mission to the court of Prester John. It is the earliest surviving written account of this ancient Christian kingdom, predating even the famed travels of Pedro de Covilham. The author's detailed narrative takes us on a journey through the diverse landscapes of Abyssinia, from the bustling port of Massowah to the remote mountain stronghold where the royal princes were kept. We encounter vivid descriptions of religious rituals, unique cultural practices, and encounters with both welcoming and hostile communities. Through the author's keen observations and insightful dialogues with the Abyssinians, the book delves into themes of faith, cultural exchange, and the complexities of navigating political landscapes. We witness the challenges faced by the Portuguese mission as they strive to establish diplomatic ties and bridge the gap between two distinct worlds. Ultimately, this book sheds light on a pivotal moment in Abyssinian history, offering invaluable insights into a kingdom at the crossroads of tradition and change.
