 Sale supposes that the Spanish manuscript is African in origin, but otherwise provides no indication of how Dr. Holme might have come by it; but as Holme had been chaplain to the English factory in Algiers from 1707 to 1709, a North African provenance may be inferred.Sale quotes three passages from the text in Spanish; and a further nine chapters are quoted by White in English translation.No trace is known of the original Spanish manuscript after Dr. Monkhouse's death in 1792.
