Setting out from Tangier in 1325 at the age of twenty-one, intending only to make the pilgrimage to Mecca, Ibn Battuta did not return home for nearly thirty years — having in the meantime crossed almost the entire Islamic world and beyond: North Africa, Egypt, Arabia, Iraq and Persia, the Byzantine court at Constantinople, the Central Asian steppe, India (where he served for years as a judge under the Sultan of Delhi), the Maldives, Ceylon, Sumatra, and China. His journey covered roughly 75,000 miles, farther than any other traveler of his age is known to have gone. This edition presents Samuel Lee's 1829 English translation, published for the Oriental Translation Committee, including the Translator's Preface and the complete twenty-five chapters of the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor \u0026amp; Genre\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ibn Battuta (1304–1368\/69)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Travel Literature \/ Islamic Golden Age Non-Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Samuel Lee (1829)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\"I then left this place in the month Shaaban, in the year fifty-four (A.D. 1353)...
