In the article, the author analyzes a travel account by an Ethiopian dignitary Heruy Wäldä Śəllase in which he notes, among other things, his observations after visiting London, Paris, and Rome. This diary is among the earliest travel narratives written by an African and concerning Europe. While the text has the potential to be a historical source, the article is focused on reconstructing the subjective impressions of the author in the context of his cultural background and the linguistic peculiarities of the document.
