The last part of the 14th century he translated his nine books, descriptions of Africa into four European languages: French, Latin, Spanish & Italian. The nine book, description of Africa was compiled from his many trips into the interior of Africa: the  nine-book & the descriptions of Africa were originally written in Arabic.
