Two-year Journey under the Arrows of the Black Death

The penultimate part of the Riḥla by Ibn Baṭṭūṭa recounts his return journey to Morocco from Middle East through North Africa—and another short tour in al-Andalus—between January 1348 and March 1350. At that time, all these territories plague pandemic known as Black Death was raging references it punctuate this work like a tired refrain. As numerous studies have shown borrowings adaptations other sources Riḥla, may not made journeys he claims, but date no one has questioned Arabian area those years. On contrary, historians regard an important document for study scourge Africa.
 In paper I aim reconstruct narrative Baṭṭūṭa’s taking text passages which is mentioned, order answer some questions: places do refer? What information does give about disease, its effects people’s reaction? Does correspond provided Arab chronicles? fit with current microbiology, genetics palaeogenetics research? Since work, how describe scourge? description differ chroniclers?
 concluding paragraph seeks two more report experience or might and/or editor Ǧuzayy, taken sources? And if did make journey, thus probably being only traveller who left account “two-year under arrows Death,” could home unscathed?
