Fig 14: The interior of an opulent Jew's House. A European rendition of the house in the casbah of Essaouira where it is likely that Meir Macnin's daughter Blida lived, since she was married to Aaron Amar "Bujnah", the "opulent" Jew", whose house is shown here. It is likely that Meir Macnin had also lived in this house.
