About this book
Benjamin of Tudela, a Jewish traveller from northern Spain in the twelfth century, recorded the cities and Jewish communities he visited across Europe, Asia and Africa. This edition gives Marcus Nathan Adler's English translation of 1907 beside a critical Hebrew text, with commentary and an index. The route runs from Saragossa and Barcelona through southern France and Italy to Constantinople, then on through Syria, Jerusalem, Baghdad and Persia, with notices of India and China, and ends with Egypt, Sicily, Germany and Paris. Adler's introduction treats Islam in the Middle Ages and the purpose of Benjamin's travels.
