The Travels of Benjamin of Tudela is a book written by Charles F. Horne that chronicles the travels of a Jewish traveler named Benjamin of Tudela during the years 1160 to 1173. Benjamin was a merchant who traveled extensively throughout the Mediterranean world, the Middle East, and even as far as India and China. He wrote a detailed account of his travels in Hebrew, which Horne translated into English for this book. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultures, customs, and geography of the places Benjamin visited, as well as the Jewish communities he encountered along the way. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the medieval world and the experiences of a Jewish traveler during that time.THIS 56 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East: Medieval Hebrew; The Midrash; The Kabbalah, by Charles F.
