Abstract
This essay is centred on the significant role of British travel writing in the description of sixteenth-century Sicily. The analysis in particular examines Andrew Boorde''s The First Book of the Introduction of Knowledge", published in London in 1548, where the author-physician emphasises numerous Sicilian pathologies in a burlesque vein.
