Description
The Travels of Ibn Batuta is a travelogue written by Ibn Batuta, a 14th-century Moroccan explorer and scholar. The book chronicles his extensive travels throughout the Islamic world, including North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, India, and China. The book is divided into four parts, each detailing a different leg of his journey. In the first part, Ibn Batuta travels from Tangier to Mecca, where he performs the Hajj pilgrimage. He then travels through the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, and Persia, before arriving in India. In the second part, he describes his travels through India, including his visits to Delhi, the Malabar Coast, and the Deccan Plateau. In the third part, Ibn Batuta travels to Central Asia, where he visits the cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, among others. He then travels to the Mongol Empire, where he meets the ruler Timur. In the final part, he travels to China, where he visits the cities of Hangzhou and Beijing. Throughout the book, Ibn Batuta provides detailed descriptions of the places he visits, the people he meets, and the customs and traditions of the various cultures he encounters. He also provides insights into the political and social structures of the societies he encounters, as well as his own personal experiences as a traveler. The Travels of Ibn Batuta is considered one of the most important travelogues of the medieval period, providing valuable insights into the Islamic world during the 14th century. It is also a valuable source of information for historians and scholars interested in the history of travel and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
