Description:In 1905, the Jesuit scholar Ant�n Rabb�t discovered the writings of Elias al-M�sili in a Jacobite diocese in Aleppo, Syria. Al-M�sili, a seventeenth-century Arab and a priest of the Chaldean Church, traveled widely across colonial Spanish America, becoming the first person to visit the Americas from Baghdad.

He provides thoughtful descriptions of high-level officials and clerics in the New World and rare insight on a voyage that would turn into a twelve-year adventure.Acclaimed Middle Eastern historian Farah is the first to make these writings available in English translation, providing an invaluable document for scholars of Middle Eastern history and of the church in Latin America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
