Known as the greatest
traveler of premodern times, Abu Abdallah ibn Battuta was born in
Morocco in 1304 and educated in Islamic law. At the age of twenty-one,
he left home to make the holy pilgrimage to Mecca.
This was only the first of a series of extraordinary journeys that spanned nearly three decades and took him not only eastward to India and China but also north to the Volga River valley and south to Tanzania.
The narrative of these travels has been known to specialists in Islamic and medieval history for years.
