Travels of Rabbi Benjamin, son of Jonah, of Tudela: through Europe, Asia, and Africa from the ancient Kingdom of Navarre, to the frontiers of China. Faithfully translated from the original Hebrew; And enriched with a Dissertation, and Notes, Critical, Historical, and Geographical: In which the true Character of the Author, and Intention of the Work, are impartially considered.
