About the author

Muḥammad ibn ʻUmar Tūnisī

d. 1857

A 19th-century Tunisian merchant left behind one of the most vivid firsthand accounts of life in Darfur and Wadai. His travels, later shaped into books through collaboration with scholars and translators, opened a rare window onto Central Africa for readers far beyond the region.
