| Zusammenfassung: | The earliest surviving instance of sustained first-person travel narrative in ArabicMission to the Volga is a pioneering text of peerless historical and literary value. In its pages, we move north on a diplomatic mission from Baghdad to the upper reaches of the Volga River in what is now central Russia. In this colorful documentary from the tenth century, the enigmatic Ibn Fadlan relates his experiences as part of an embassy sent by Caliph al-Muqtadir to deliver political and religious instruction to the recently-converted King of the Bulghars. During eleven months of grueling travel, Ibn Fadlan records the marvels he witnesses on his journey, including an aurora borealis and the white nights of the North. Crucially, he offers a description of the Viking Rus, including their customs, clothing, body painting, and a striking account of a ship funeral. Together, these anecdotes illuminate a vibrant world of diversity during the heyday of the Abbasid Empire, narrated with as much curiosity and zeal as they were perceived by its observant beholder. |

During eleven months of grueling travel, Ibn Fadlan records the marvels he witnesses on his journey, including an aurora borealis and the white nights of the North. Crucially, he offers a description of the Viking Rus, including their customs, clothing, body painting, and a striking account of a ship funeral. Together, these anecdotes illuminate a vibrant world of diversity during the heyday of the Abbasid Empire, narrated with as much curiosity and zeal as they were perceived by its observant beholder.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Translated from the Arabic.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Tatarstan (Russia)</subfield><subfield code="x">Description and travel.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Bulgars (Turkic people)</subfield><subfield code="z">Russia (Federation)</subfield><subfield code="z">Volga River Region</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Ibn Faḍlān, Aḥmad,</subfield><subfield code="d">active 922</subfield><subfield code="x">Travel</subfield><subfield code="z">Asia, Central.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Volga River Region (Russia)</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85144288</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Bulgares (Peuple turc)</subfield><subfield code="z">Russie</subfield><subfield code="z">Volga, Région de la</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">TRAVEL</subfield><subfield code="z">Europe</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Bulgars (Turkic people)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Travel</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Central Asia</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Russia (Federation)</subfield><subfield code="z">Tatarstan</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39QbtfRywGvTvw66k7PGf3VPp</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Russia (Federation)</subfield><subfield code="z">Volga River Region</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Travel writing</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">History</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Travel writing.</subfield><subfield code="2">lcgft</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026200</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Récits de voyages.</subfield><subfield code="2">rvmgf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Montgomery, James E.</subfield><subfield code="q">(James Edward),</subfield><subfield code="d">1962-</subfield><subfield code="e">translator.</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJyhdxbR697bcjr8JpqG73</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb99045598</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Kennedy, Philip F.,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Tooraw, Shawkat M.,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Severin, Timothy,</subfield><subfield code="e">writer of foreword.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Ibn Faḍlān, Aḥmad, active 922.</subfield><subfield code="s">Kitāb ilá malik al-Ṣaqālibah.

In its pages, we move north on a diplomatic mission from Baghdad to the upper reaches of the Volga River in what is now central Russia. In this colorful documentary from the tenth century, the enigmatic Ibn Fadlan relates his experiences as part of an embassy sent by Caliph al-Muqtadir to deliver political and religious instruction to the recently-converted King of the Bulghars. During eleven months of grueling travel, Ibn Fadlan records the marvels he witnesses on his journey, including an aurora borealis and the white nights of the North. Crucially, he offers a description of the Viking Rus, including their customs, clothing, body painting, and a striking account of a ship funeral. Together, these anecdotes illuminate a vibrant world of diversity during the heyday of the Abbasid Empire, narrated with as much curiosity and zeal as they were perceived by its observant beholder.
