Gay 2783. Numa Broc 214-215. Édition originale. "La portée du voyage de Mage est considérable. Sur le plan politique et commercial, il a ouvert le Soudan [bassin du Niger] à la France. Il a fait connaître à l'Europe l'Empire d'El-Hadj Omar, dont les états islamisés interpénètrent étroitement ceux des Bambara et des Mandingues fétichistes. Il a montré que le principal ennemi des Européens en Afrique noire est l'Islam. Quelle riche moisson géographique aussi, dans des pays qui n'avaient pratiquement pas été vus depuis Mungo Park et René Caillé ! Les coordonnées des principales villes ont été corrigées ; les cours des fleuves fixés avec plus d'exactitude ; le Niger supérieur et le Macina entre Ségou et Tombouctou cartographiés pour la première fois" [Numa Broc].
