Ibn Battuta’s journeys unveil a vibrant 14th-century Islamic world marked by enduring splendor and steady political realms linking ancient empires with distant lands. Detailed routes invite readers to trace his meticulous travels across territories where adventure interweaves with historical insight.
The Islamic world in the fourteenth century differed, in extent and outward splendour, but little from the magnificent empire ruled by the Caliphs of Damascus and Baghdad in the eighth. If in the West it had been shorn of its outposts in Spain and Sicily, it could justly claim to have more than balanced the loss of its extension in India and Malaysia. When in 1325 Ibn Battuta set out on his journeys, the political conditions in the Islamic lands were?relatively?stable?and?unusually?favourable?for?travel.
In the present selections, which have been translated from the Arabic original, Ibn Batuta is treated as a traveller, and not as a writer of geography. Sufficient indications have been added in the text and the notes to enable the course of his journeys to be followed?in?detail?on?any?large-scale?atlas.
This classic translation by H.A.R. Gibb, first published in 1929, introduced to the wider circle of English readers one of the most?remarkable?Islamic?travellers?of?his?own?or?any?age.
