About this title

Synopsis

Notes Of A Residence In The Canary Islands, The South Of Spain, And Algiers: Illustrative Of The State Of Religion In Those Countries by Thomas Debary. This 19th?century travelogue reports the author’s winter sojourns through Madeira, the Canary Islands, southern Spain, and North Africa, focusing on climate, landscapes, and especially the religious life and church politics he encounters. Debary blends observations of Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Mohammedan communities with reflections on Anglican identity, papal authority, and the state of religion in each locale. The book interweaves itineraries (Madeira, Tenerife, Las Palmas, Cadiz, Seville, Malaga, Gibraltar, Tangier, and Algiers) with sketches of historical conquest, monastic ruins, and current ecclesiastical life, sometimes polemically critiquing church authorities and missionary efforts. Throughout, Debary aims to illustrate how religion shapes society and how creeds compete and coexist across geographies and cultures.
