Abstract

Approaches the content of Nufadat al-yirab of the granadian vizier Lisan al-Din Ibn al-Khatib, a miscellaneous work written during his exile to the marinid Maghreb. He recorded his multifaceted experience through travel stories, historical narrative, letters, poetry and literary epistles, offering thus testimony of a great character from the 14th century trying to stay afloat between two shores and in a fluctuating and uncertain world.
