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. Ross E. Dunn's 1986 retelling of these tales, however, was the first work of scholarship to make the legendary traveler's story accessible to a general audience. Now updated with revisions, a new preface, and an updated bibliography, Dunn's classic interprets Ibn Battuta's adventures and places them within the rich, trans-hemispheric cultural setting of medieval Islam. 1726231 1986 The Adventures of Ibn Battuta: A Muslim Traveler of the Fourteenth Century total:67|5:19|4:26|3:17|2:5|1:0| 67 260 133 14 2 1 false false Tue Jun 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 22:39:35 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 14:29:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Nov 24 18:41:02 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 18:40:03 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 18:40:55 -0800 2009 5 1 false false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Thu May 29 06:37:13 -0700 2008 Thu May 29 06:47:11 -0700 2008
