BENJAMIN of Tudela, in Navarre, a celebrated Jewish rabbi of the twelfth century, whose Itinerary is a literary curiosity. He visited Constantinople, Egypt, Assyria, and Persia, penetrating to the frontiers of China. Though credulous, and not accurate in discriminating fable from history, his work contains some curious notices of the countries he visited. The Itinerary was translated from the Hebrew into Latin by Arias Montanus in 1575. It appeared in French in 1734, and again in 1830. An English translation was published in 1783, with notes by the Rev. Benjamin Gerrans, from the Hebrew and Latin edition of the Elzevir's 1633.
