ibn Battutah (1 August 1601 – 1666), commonly known as Ibn Battuta, was a Dezevauni traveller and scholar. Over a period of thirty years, Ibn Battuta visited most of Southeast Coius, West Coius, Bahia, Shangea, and Senria. Near the end of his life, he dictated an account of his journeys, titled The great travels of Ibn Battuta, but commonly known as The Travels.
His travels represent a unique non-Euclean perspective into 17th century Coius, before widespread Euclean influence. There have been doubts over the historicity of some of Ibn Battuta's travels, particularly as they reach further west, with some sections being lifted from earlier explorers, although this practice was not uncommon for the time.
