King Abdulaziz Library Publishes Ibn Battuta Translation
The King Abdulaziz Public Library in Riyadh has unveiled the first English translation of Ibn Battuta's journeys. This edition is a version of his book "The Marvels of Locations and the Wonders of Travel," which was retranslated in 1829 by the British orientalist Samuel Lee. The translation is based on a summarized handwritten copy and includes scientific and historical annotations. It spans 294 pages. It is worth noting that this book is considered one of the most famous travel writings in history, as Ibn Battuta described his 30-year journeys during which he visited various regions in the Islamic world and North Africa. His works have been translated into many major languages worldwide.
