Leo Africanus Discovers Comedy
"Using the North African diplomat Hasan al-Wazzan, known in Europe as Leo Africanus (c. 1488-after 1532), as its guide, this book offers a comparative journey through the worlds of Arabic and Italian theatre and poetics in the late medieval and early modern period (1300-1600). Special attention to theatrical performances in Rome and in Italy in general, as well as in Tunis, Cairo, and in North Africa in general."--
