Introduction
- The sub-sub-sub-series preserves various documents written by Kahle and other scholars who have dealt with Ibn Faḍlān, a 10th century Arab traveler, famous for the account of his travels (entitled «Risāla») as a member of an embassy of the Abbasid caliph of Baghdad to the king of the Volga Bulgars. Of this author the sub-sub-sub-series contains the drafts of the article by Validi Togan, “Ibn Faḍlān’s Reisebericht”, which is an edition, translation and study of the «Risāla». Furthermore we find various drafts of lectures held by Togan in 1958.
