Overview: "I, Hasan the son of Muhammad the weigh-master, I, Jean-Leon de Medici, circumcised at the hand of a barber and baptized at the hand of a pope, I am now called the African, but I am not from Africa, nor from Europe, nor from Arabia. I am also called the Granadan, the Fassi, the Zayyati, but I come from no country, from no city, no tribe. I am the son of the road; my country is the caravan, my life the most unexpected of voyages." Thus wrote Leo Africanus, in his fortieth year, in this imaginary autobiography of the famous geographer, adventurer, and scholar Hasan al-Wazzan, who was born in Granada in 1488. His family fled the Inquisition and took him to the city of Fez, in North Africa. Hasan became an itinerant merchant, and made many journeys to the East, journeys rich in adventure and observation. He was captured by a Sicilian pirate and taken back to Rome as a gift to Pope Leo X, who baptized him Johannes Leo. While in Rome, he wrote the first trilingual dictionary (Latin, Arabic and Hebrew), as well as his celebrated Description of Africa, for which he is still remembered as Leo Africanus.… (mere)
En una época de crisis en la que dos grandes imperios pugnan por la supremacía en el Mediterráneo, Hasan, nacido en Granada poco antes de 1492 y más conocido como León el Africano, emprende una extraordinaria peregrinación que, guiada por su pasión de vivir, lo llevará a la mistiosa ciudad de Tombuctú, a los quince reinos negros situados entre el Níger y el Nilo, y a la deslumbrante Constantinopla. Finalmente, sus conocimientos y experiencias, donde se funden la cultura oriental y la occidental, el mundo cristiano y el del islam, serán puestos al servicio del papa León X y de Julio de Médicis
Fictional memoirs of the 16th century travel writer Hasan al-Wazzan al-Gharnati al-Fassi aka Leo Africanus de Medici born in the last years before the fall of Granada in 1492, who grew up in the Maghreb and travelled backwards and forwards across the Sahara to Timbuktu, who lived in Egypt under the Mamelukes before it was conquered by the Ottomans, and who was captured by pirates and sold into slavery before becoming a diplomat and adviser serving Popes Leo X and Clement VII.

Ik, Hassan, zoon van Mohammed de weger, ik Johannes Leo de'Medici', besneden door de hand van een barbier en gedoopt door de hand van een paus, wordt tegenwoordig de Afrikaan genoemd, maar ik kom noch uit Afrika, noch uit Europa, noch uit Arabië. Men noemt mij ook de Granadijn, de Fassi, de Zayyati maar ik kom uit geen enkel land, geen enkele stad, geen enkele stam. Ik ben een zoon van de wegen, mijn vaderland is de karavaan en mijn leven de meest onverwachte der tochten.
A mí, Hassan, hijo de Mohamed el alamín, a mí, Juan León de Médicis, circuncidado por la mano de un barbero y bautizado por la mano de un papa, me llaman hoy el Africano, pero ni de África, ni de Europa, ni de Arabia soy.

no tengo ya más deseo que vivir, entre los míos, luengos días apacibles y ser, de todos los que amo, el primero en marchar. Hacia ese Lugar postrero donde nadir es extraño ante los ojos del creador.
