| The Doctor and the Pasha is the English-translated critical edition, with notes and introductory chapters, of fascinating travel account written in 1826 by Italian physician and draftsman Alessandro Ricci. The account was the topic of the Project Director’s PhD dissertation in Egyptology (University of Pisa, 2011). Subsequent research conducted in Dorchester, Kingston, Lacy, Paris and Bristol unearthed a new, valuable information that was incorporated into the present manuscript. Publication of this work would add greatly to the growing corpus of exploration literature on nineteenth-century Egypt as well as bring to light obscure sources important to the early history of Egyptology. |
