Patón, <i>Memorial de ida y venida hasta Makka</i> (Memoir of the journey to and from Mecca) (Castile, 15th c.)</a>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Omar Patón was one of the last Castilian Muslims to complete the hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. He undertook the journey from his home city of Ávila (Castile), departing in 1491. Upon his return from the East, Paton depicted the experiences and emotions
he lived during his long and dangerous pious expedition in his Memoir of the Journey to and from Mecca.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This bilingual unit contains a brief introduction to the <i>Memorial</i> with notes and a short bibliography in Spanish and English versions. Both contain an edition of an excerpt of the original aljamiado text relating Patón’s experiences in Alexandria,
Damascus, and Jerusalem, accompanied by a Spanish modernization or English translation for use in classes with either language as the language of instruction.</div>
