Ibn Battuta and Ibn Juzayy

Died in 1368

Ibn Battuta was born in Tangier on 24 February 1304, into a Berber family of the Lawata clan that counted jurists among its members. He set out in 1325; in the course of his wanderings, he served as a qadi in Delhi, under the sultan Muhammad ibn Tughluq, then in the Maldives, where he married daughters of the ruling family and of viziers. Back in Fez, he dictated his memoirs there on the orders of the Marinid sultan Abu Inan. He died in Morocco in 1368, or perhaps in 1377.
