1731 King Mouley Ismael MOROCCO PIRATES
Slaves & Slavery Janissaries Busnot RARE
Dominique Busnot was an 18th-century French historian who,
after traveling to Morocco numerous times, wrote what became his most famous
and important work – “History of Mouley
Ismael, King of Morocco”. Mouley Ismael served as king for nearly fifty
years and is remembered for expanding Moroccan territory through military
strength and diplomacy with European powers. Busnot describes Mouley’s reign as
bloodthirsty, having taken French Christians as prisoner by Moroccan pirates.
Having spent many years in Morocco negotiating with Moroccan leaders for the
release of these prisoners, Busnot wrote this work to convince readers to help
financially with the efforts to free the Christian prisoners from Morocco.
This 1731 edition of Busnot’s most famous work was published in Rouen by
Pierre Machuse and includes Busnot position on the church’s tradition of
pardoning slaves.
