The notice on the physical conformations of the peoples of Egypt relates more to aesthetic considerations. The second text discusses the history of a forgotten province of Egypt and recounts the author's journey. Interesting considerations on the tanning of hides in Egypt, particularly on morocco leather. The Meqyâs is the famous nilometer located on the island of Roudah. The work begins with a history of travellers in Egypt and the interest that can be found in reading these voyages. The numerous bibliographical notes prove very useful.
