BENJAMIN OF TUDELA (in Navarre)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 739 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BENJAMIN OF TUDELA (in Navarre) , a Jewish
rabbi
  of the 12th century. He visited
Constantinople
 ,
Egypt
 , Assyria and
1 Jerusalem and its
district
  was Jebusite until its capture by
David
  (so 2 Sam. v.) ; for Beeroth and Gibeon, see 2 Sam. iv. 2 seq.,
xxi. 2, and note the Benjamite and Judahite names which find analogies in the Edomite genealogies. See, on these points, S. A. Cook, Jew. Quarterly
Review
  (1906), pp. 528 sqq.
Persia, and penetrated to the frontiers of China. His journeys occupied him for about thirteen years. He was credulous, but his Itinerary, or Massa'oth, contains some curious notices of the countries he visited and of the condition of the Jews. Thus his
work
  is of much value for the Jewish history of the 12th century. It is from Benjamin that we know that the Jews of Palestine and other parts of the
East
  were noted for the arts of dyeing and glass-making.
His Itinerary was translated from the Hebrew into Latin by Arias Montanus in 1575, and appeared in a French version by Baratier in 1734. There have been various English translations. One was published by Asher in 1840; another (with
critical
  Hebrew text) by M. N. Adler (Jewish Quarterly
Review
 , vols. xvi.-xviii.; also re-printed as a
separate
  volume, 1907).
