Ibn Battuta, the greatest of all the medieval travellers, was in
Tangier in 1304. At the age of nineteen he set out on his travels
that were eventually to take him over 75,000 miles through all of
the Muslim world. His book, in which he describes the cultural life
and beauty of those times, remains one of the most famous of all
travel narratives. The value of the work to historians and students
is beyond question, but perhaps its true worth lies in the
freshness of its narrative style. Throughout, we are aware of the
author's own human and compassionate insights and, even after six
centuries, it remains a delight and pleasure to read. This fine
facsimile edition, originally published in 1929, is enhanced by the
inclusion of several exquisite prints, with maps of the journeys
undertaken during Ibn Battuta's remarkable life.
