Title: Ibn Battuta in Black Africa
Description: 'For 29 years, Tangier native Battuta (1304-77) criss-crossed the eastern hemisphere and recorded his experiences, especially the people he met.

They include Ibn Khaldun (c.1332-1406), al-Maqqari (c.1591-1632), Ibn al-Dawadari (c.1309-1335), and Al-Maqrizi (c.1364-1442).'-- Publisher.
