Synopsis

A very interesting inventory of pilgrims who died in Damascus in 1700 on their way to Makkah. The two authors discusses the dangerous road taken by pilgrims to Makkah, the material condition facing the pilgrims, and the role of the Syrian pilgrimage caravan in the international commerce of the eighteenth century.
