Online exposition: Travellers of a new era, by Abdelkader Benali

Abdelkader Benali has made an online exposition in collaboration with the curators of the library of Leiden University. The starting point is the essay he wrote (in Dutch) as part of the Month of History, also entitled Travellers of a New Era.

The exposition presents the Barbarian pirates, who were known in the seventeenth century as the fear of the Mediterranean, through a number of masterpieces from Leiden's collections.
