He journeyed farther than his near contemporary Marco Polo, though
Muslim scholar Ibn Battuta (1304-c. 1377) is barely remembered at
all compared to that legendary traveler. But Battuta's story is
just as fascinating, as this 1829 translation of his diaries, by
British Orientalist REV. SAMUEL LEE (1783 -1852), demonstrates.
Embarking upon what would eventually be a 27-year pilgrimage,
Battuta traveled through East Africa, the Middle East, India,
China, and beyond, bringing him to most of the 14th-century Islamic
world. Rife with beautiful descriptions of the exotic peoples he
met and landscapes he saw, this little--known classic of medieval
literature will enthrall scholars of Islamic history and armchair
travelers alike.
