Show moreex arabico Ebn Batutae Itinerario edita ; interpretatione et annotationibus instructa per Henricum Apetz. Ibn Batutta's description of Malabar, south-western India. Original Arabic text, edited with a Latin translation and annotations by the Jena oriental scholar and entomologist Johann Heinrich Gottfried Apetz (1794-1857), a student of L. G. Kosegarten, to whom this effort is dedicated. - Ibn Battuta's famous "Rihla" (literally, "The Journey") is considered one of the most significant Mediaeval eyewitness accounts of the Middle East. Over a period of thirty years, the Muslim Moroccan explorer Abu-‘Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Batutah (1304-77?) visited most of the known Islamic world, including North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Africa, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe in the West, to the Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the East - a distance surpassing his near-contemporary Marco Polo. He journeyed more than 75,000 miles, a figure unsurpassed by any individual explorer until the coming of the Steam Age some 450 years later, and is considered one of the greatest travellers of all time. After returning home from his travels in 1354, Ibn Battuta dictated an account of his journeys to Ibn Juzayy, a scholar whom he had previously met in Granada. The account is the only source for Ibn Battuta's adventures. For centuries his book was obscure, even within the Muslim world, but in the early 19th century extracts were published in German and English based on manuscripts discovered in the Middle East, containing abridged versions of Ibn Juzayy's Arabic text. - Slight browning and duststaining; ownership "S.
