The Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela
Produced by Ted Garvin and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team.
"The Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela" by active 12th century of Tudela Benjamin is a historical account written during the late 12th century. This work chronicles the travels of Rabbi Benjamin, a Jewish traveler from Tudela, Spain, as he embarks on a journey through Europe, Asia, and North Africa, documenting the various Jewish communities, cities, and notable figures he encounters along the way. The opening of the book introduces the context of Rabbi Benjamin's travels and outlines his motivations for the journey, which likely stem from a blend of personal, commercial, and religious interests. As he sets off from Tudela, he provides rich descriptions of the significant cities he visits—starting with locations in Spain and moving through key places in France and Italy—while detailing the Jewish populations and their communal structures. The narrative highlights both the vibrant life of these communities and the historical condition of Jews in medieval society, making it clear that Benjamin seeks not only knowledge but also to reunite with his co-religionists scattered across the regions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 78.9 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
