About This Item
To this day, Muslims, and many others, know of the travels of Ibn Batuta. Over 25 years ago, I discussed him with a neighbor, who knew stories of Batuta that he had learned as a child in Somalia.
Book: Black hardcover boards with gilt lettering on spine. Former owner's bookplate on left front endpaper. Text is as new, as are the covers and DJ. Dj has very light scuffing on its glossy paper, and it is price clipped. No other defects noted.
The author, Ross Dunn, recounts the journeys of Ibn Batuta, who traveled throughout much of the then known world, through Moroccos Northern and Eastern Africa, the Near East, Iran, Crimea, India, Ceylon, Indonesia and China. All of this in the 1300s, when travel of this sort was rare, and dangerous.
"....It is both a biography of an extraordinary personality and a study of the hemispheric dimensions of human interchange in medieval times."
