By the way, does ANYBODY know where we can get a public domain copy of Ibn Batuta? I've had no luck finding one online. I even asked the king of Saudi Arabia for a copy, but His Majesty didn't answer. The few snippets I've seen are fascinating. He left his home to go on a haj, and then kept going, spending 29 years travelling and writing fascinating notes of where he went, namely everywhere you could get to without going to Arctica, Antarctica, or the Americas.
I have to agree with Anne. Every time I hear about Ibn Batuta's amazing travels, I feel the urge to read his writings. Is there any chance we could get them online as part of Gutenberg's collection?
