Ibn Battuta (reference article)

Wikipedia's article on Ibn Battuta, the fourteenth century Islamic scholar and traveler, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as the general scope and chronology of his travels as documented in his own Rihla, and less reliable for evaluating specific contested details within that account, which historians have revised in places. Use it for basic biography; a specific contested detail about his travels needs the primary Rihla itself or a dedicated historical study.
