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 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 4, the
sultan of Delhi asks Ibn Battuta to lead an embassy to China,
during which he suffers difficulties, including attacks by Hindus,
and shipwreck. He eventually reaches China via Sri Lanka, Vietnam
and the Philippines; he then performs a fourth hajj before
returning home, after twenty-four years' absence. He sets out
again, to visit first Muslim Spain and then further regions of
Africa, as far south as Timbuktu and down the river Niger, before
returning home to dictate an account of his travels.
