Ansie ed inquietudini di un ḥāǧǧ marginino del XVII secolo: Abū Sālim al-'Ayyāšī (1628-1679)

Abstract

This study aims at examining some extracts of a 17th century rihla written by the well-known maghribi author Abu Salim al-'Ayyashi, with a special attention to the anxieties and inquietudes of the author as a paradigm for all the coeval travelers who used to undertake their pilgrimage to Mecca.
