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. 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
2, he leaves Najaf and heads for Persia, exploring Isfahan and
Shiraz before returning to Baghdad. Next he goes north, as far as
modern Turkey, before performing a second pilgrimage to Mecca. From
Jeddah, he sails to Yemen and down the coast of Africa as far as
modern-day Tanzania. After a third visit to Mecca he heads north as
far as the Crimea and Astrakhan, whence he travels to
Constantinople in the retinue of a Byzantine princess, before
heading east again.
