Anmerkung : Blackmer 1479: 'A very interesting work by Salt, who later became associated with Egyptology as the employer of Belzoni, friend of Burckhardt, and the owner of three important collections of Egyptian antiquities... He returned to Africa in 1809 on a government mission to establish contact with the King of Abyssinia which occupied him for two years. This work describes these travels and the appendix contains vocabularies of various African dialects'. Provenance: Library of Colin and Joan Deacon.
