His travelogue, which may be based on his own notes made during his travels, was published in 1582 (Embajada a Tamorlan). An English translation appeared in 1859. His travelogue contains a detailed description of the embroideries and hangings adorned with pearls that he found in what is now called Southwest Asia, perhaps including precursors of what we now know as suzani work.
