Note 124 — IBN BAṬÚṬAH’S JOURNEY.

For an account of Ibn Baṭúṭah, whose Travels at least equal in interest those of Marco Polo, see the ‘History of the Mohammedan Dynasties in Spain,’ by D. Pascual de Gayangos, p. 348. This gentleman possesses a copy of the complete narrative of Ibn Baṭúṭah, and from his translation of it (which we hope will be presented to the public ere long) have been collected the passages given above, which are not in general to be found in Professor Lee’s translation of the abridgment of the same work.
