The translation from Arabic into French [was done] by André Du Ryer de La Garde-Malezair, one of the French king’s noblemen, who served his homeland honorably and for many years at Ottoman Porte, having earned the good trust of Murad the Third’s and sent with important errands for Louis the Thirteenth. Printed in Amsterdam and Leipzig in 1770; Translated into Russian in Moscow governorship, Klinskaia okruga, in the village of Mikhalev in 1790 [by M.I. Verevkin].
