Such an important work, I used to use it all the time. Incredible that he translated the entire work. Is there a PDF or some other format that’s easier to access? ** Ari Kinsberg, MA, PharmD Brooklyn, New York Consultant for Rare Books and Manuscripts Registered Pharmacist (NYS, Ohio)

No idea re. Kafih in English (I'd wager no). If not, can use phone camera and google to translate page by page (not ideal, but it works). Saphir has been translated into English (maybe not complete?). Some of the older travelogues have been translated into English, I don't know how much about
