Why is the account of Ibn Battuta's travels so valuable to historians?

• It is a classic example of historians needing to verify accounts from centuries ago. Historians can use the book, the Rihla, to demonstrate the importance of research and verification.

• Ibn Battuta was one of the most widely traveled people in the world in his time. His writings on Muslim life and viewpoints, as well as his encounters with so many different cultures and foreign leaders, help historians understand a wide variety of topics.

• Ibn Battuta’s book, the Rihla, wasn’t discovered by the world until the 17th century. All of this information is new and still needs to be further researched and translated by historians.

• History is very centered on Europeans, and the world needs to better understand other perspectives and events outside of Europe.
