Hespéris lived devoting itself to the study of Morocco and its Maghreb and Andalusian environment. ... we wanted the journal to be as much a means of publicizing Moroccan research in the human sciences as a meeting place for foreign researchers. It can be written in four languages: Arabic, French, Spanish and English. ... To possess the complete collection is to have at hand a sort of encyclopedia providing precise data on almost everything concerning Morocco in particular and the Muslim West in general, in terms of history, geography, sociology or linguistics.
