Abstract

The Hebrew text of the journey of the rabbi Benjamin mi-Tudela (circa 1165- 1173) contains interesting, curious and fantastic data concerning ethnic, geographic, economic and mythic aspects related to remote oriental places such as India, Malabar, Tibet and China. This information probably arrived to the Jewish traveller when he stayed in Bagdad or Basra, or included and interpoled later in the manuscripts by the scribes and compilators.
