Ibn Fadlān and the Land of Darkness by Ibn Fadlan (Paul Lunde and Caroline Stone, trans.)

Ibn Fadlān and the Land of Darkness by Ibn Fadlan (Paul Lunde and Caroline Stone, trans.)

This collection gathers medieval Arab travel accounts of the far north, most famously Ibn Fadlan's tenth-century journey to the Volga River, where he encountered and vividly described Viking traders, including a detailed account of a ship funeral that has become a primary historical source on Norse burial customs.

These firsthand accounts offer a rare non-European perspective on medieval Scandinavia and the broader northern world, providing historians with invaluable ethnographic detail that would otherwise be entirely absent from the historical record of these societies.

An essential primary source for understanding Viking-era Scandinavia through Arab eyes.
