This four-volume edition of the Arabic text of the Journey of the
Moroccan traveller Ibn Battuta (1304-68/9), with a French
translation, was published in 1853-8 as part of the 'Collection
d'ouvrages orientaux' of the French Societe Asiatique. In 1325, Ibn
Battuta, who came from a family of Islamic jurists in Tangier, set
out to make the pilgrimage to Mecca - the beginning of a journey
that would last for twenty-four years and take him as far as China.
In Volume 1, he describes his departure from Tangier, and his
journey via Tunis to Egypt, where he travelled to Cairo, planning
to reach a Red Sea port and sail to Arabia. The route was closed,
so he returned to Cairo and travelled from there to Damascus,
taking in the holy places of Palestine en route. Having finally
reached Medina and Mecca, he decided to travel on, to Najaf (in
present-day Iraq).
