There is a detailed description of Gypsies in Sir Walter Scot’s book “Quentin Durward”.

I later looked it up and his description was about as good as any. He said they probably originated in Egypt tho they claim to be from Romania.

Have not read that. I always assumed they were eastern European. But probably based on movies. Egyptian would work. I will look up the book
