Ibn Battuta
The best known "Rihla" manuscript is "A Masterpiece to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling" (, or ), often referred to as "The Travels of Ibn Battuta" (, or ). "The Travels" is a medieval book which recounts the journey of the 14th-century Moroccan scholar and traveler Ibn Battuta. The book was dictated to Ibn Juzayy on orders from the Marinid Sultan Abu Inan Faris who was impressed by the story and travels of Ibn Battuta. Although Ibn Battuta was an accomplished and well-documented explorer, his travels had been unknown outside the Islamic world for many years.
