About “Description of Africa”
Description of Africa was taken largely from the geographical work Cosmographia et geographia de Affrica completed by Leo Africanus in 1526, published by Giovanni Battista Ramusio in Venice in 1550. It contained the first detailed descriptions published in Europe of the Barbary Coast and the gold-trading kingdoms of west-central Africa. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
