قراءة في رحلة إلياس يوحنا الموصلي إلى قارة أمريكا (1675-1683)‎

Abstract EN

The Arab's passion and interest about other universes, whether they were near or faraway, never faded out even in the hardest periods of their civilization recession.

In this contest, we deal with the explorer Elias Johanna El Mousaly ' text.

He was considered to be the first Arab explorer to visit the American area at the end of the seventeenth century.

In his publication, El Mousaly wrote about the details of his journey, describing the American area including the geographic aspects using some Arabic geographic descriptive terminology mixing it with some European terms.

Thus, the explorer's text was considered to be a unique reference to the American area in the context of cohabitation between two different kinds of living: one is local and the other is expatriate.
