The Itinerary of Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela (Classic Reprint)

Evert student must have felt with myself the entire want of a work on the Geography op the ioddlb AGES. Whilst on one hand Herodotus, Strabo and the other aneieni geographers have found editors and annotators without number, and on the other not only individuals but societies have laboured to make us acquainted with the freseni state of the world, comparatively nothing has been done to throw li on that portion of geography, which comprises the ages, called the dark. Thus the curious in geography have abundant means of becoming acquainted with the political state of our planet in the times of Alexander and of A ugustus, of Charles V. and ctoria I., but are at an utter loss for a work which treats on the same subject at the period of the crusades, and although these remaricable wars have found able historians, geography, the sister science or rather the hand-maiden of history, has been neglected in an astonishing degree.
