Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela: Travels in the Middle Ages

From 1165 to 1173 Benjamin of Tudela journeyed from his native Navarre through the greater part of the then-known world. He visited about 300 cities including Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Damascus, Baghdad and beyond, meeting their disparate Jewish communities and recording his impressions of their governments, customs, traditions, professions and products. Originally written in Hebrew, his Itinerary is a landmark of medieval travel literature.Signer, Michael A. is the author of 'Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela: Travels in the Middle Ages' with ISBN 9780934710077 and ISBN 0934710074.
