Battuta's account really puts into perspective our Eurocentric notions of the middle ages - if we thought that the world beyond Europe was barely known or that Europe was the centre of civilisation Battuta proves that a lie. He travels from Africa to Indonesia with barely any mention of Europe. In comparison, the Islamic world was unimaginably broad and diverse.
Many of the drawbacks of this book come down to the translator, a Christian Reverend of the Victorian era who clearly holds bigoted ideas against Islam. Even Mandeville was less prejudiced toward Islam! He was also very intent on showing his work, providing original Arabic text for every proper noun and assuming the reader can understand the French and Latin excerpts he quotes without translation in his footnotes. The translation could also do with updating, as the English spelling of Arabic names seems extremely outdated, to the extent that it is very difficult to look up personages mentioned for more information.
We could also have done with more cultural context. Battuta seems to have a habit of acquiring and losing slave girls, or marrying women on a temporary basis, despite otherwise presenting himself as a pious and law-abiding man. Is this...normal? I have no idea!
Regardless, this is an important work if you want to get a fuller understanding of the world in the Middle Ages, and is humbling for those raised on a Eurocentric framework. Great to read in comparison with Mandeville's work. I haven't read Marco Polo yet, but I expect it would also make a good comparison.… (plus d'informations)
