Megjegyzések:	This article analyzes the travelogue of Ilyas ibn Hanna al-Mawsuli, an Arab Christian who composed the first account of Spanish America to be written in Arabic. Kitab siyahat alkhoury Ilyas ibn al-qissees Hanna al-Mawsuli (The book of the travels of the priest Ilyas, son of the cleric Hanna al-Mawsuli) documents the interaction between western Europeans and the Levant in the early modern period through the activities of Catholic missionaries. While such an account provides an important perspective on the "Levantine" view of Spanish and Indigenous populations in the Americas in the early modern period, I argue that it instantiates a discursive dialectic between Spanish colonial knowledge and the Levantine lexicon of Eastern Christianity that resulted in a perceptual synthesis through which al-Mawsuli understood colonial Spanish America and Indigenous peoples. The Indigenous populations emerge in his account as "savages," but also as the direct spiritual beneficiaries of Spain's new colonial world. The complexity of al- Mawsuli's travel account stems from its bicultural referentiality: he was a Catholic priest and an Iraqi Christian living under Ottoman rule who also spoke Arabic, Latin, Eastern Syriac, Spanish, French, and Turkish well enough to give sermons, perform Mass, and translate from all of them. This article also illuminates an implicit telos of epistemic imperialism?namely, how colonial epistemologies became itinerant discourses traveling from imperial geographies and engulfing the representational prisms of countries and communities that never had a direct interaction with the Americas.
