ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

La missione raggiunse i confini il 15 marzo 1911 ed iniziò le operazioni geodetiche che si prolungarono per molti mesi e che furono sospese a causa di una rivolta fra le popolazioni dell'Uebi-Scebeli. Verranno rilevati ben 1600 Km. di frontiera, notevoli anche i risultati ottenuti nei campi della geografia fisica, della geologia, della zoologia, della botanica e dell'etnografia.

Dessinée par A. Vuillemin, géographe, 1838.” Resoconto di un viaggio in Abissinia e nello Yemen durato due anni, dal 1835 al 1837, effettuato dai giovani francesi Edmund Combes e Maurice Tamisier. Tale viaggio contribuì ad aprire la vasta area etiopica all’influenza francese e a controbilanciare l’influenza degli Inglesi, già presenti in Aden. Per arrivare fino al regno di Choa, Combes et Tamisier visitarono Axum, Adowa, Galla, Debra-Tabor, il lago di Tana, Gondar, ecc. Questa dettagliata relazione del viaggio è naturalmente arricchita dalla storia del paese e da approfonditi commenti sugli usi, costumi, credenze, forme di governo, commerci delle popolazioni incontrate. Gli ultimi capitoli sono dedicati agli errori commessi da europei precedentemente arrivati in Abissinia: Bruce, Valentia e Salt. "Edizione originale". Cfr. Gay,2616.
