Delhi à travers le témoignage d’Ibn Baṭṭūṭa

Ibn Baṭṭūṭa's 1325–1354 journey through the Islamic world, including Delhi, offers a unique 14th-century perspective on Qutb Minar and its monuments. His detailed accounts, preserved in 'Riḥla' (Récit de voyage), provide invaluable insights into medieval Delhi's architectural grandeur, cultural richness, and urban dynamics under the Tughlaq dynasty. The study leverages Ibn Juzayy's transcription of Baṭṭūṭa's oral narratives, focusing on Qutb Minar's significance as a symbol of Islamic power and architectural innovation in the region. This medieval travelogue serves as both a historical document and a window into pre-colonial Delhi's socio-political landscape.
