Zusammenfassung
In December of 1845, Muhammad as-Saffar was sent by the reigning Moroccan sultan on a diplomatic mission to Paris. During the journey, as-Saffar took notes and upon his return he wrote this travel account which enlarges our understanding of the relationship between 19th-century Morocco and France.
