		Petachiah traveled east from Bohemia, through Poland, Ruthenia, southern Russia (which he called Kedar), and the Crimea.

	Chapters On Jewish Literature - Chapter XX. Travellers’ Tales (By Israel Abrahams)
		Soon after Benjamin, another Jew, Petachiah of Ratisbon, set out on a similar but less extended tour, which occupied him during the years 1179 and 1180.
		His “Travels” are less informing than those of his immediate predecessor, but his descriptions of the real or reputed sepulchres of ancient worthies and his account of the Jewish College in Bagdad are full of romantic interest, which was not lessened for medieval readers because much of Petachiah’s narrative was legendary.
		A far more important work was written by the first Jewish explorer of Palestine, Esthori Parchi, a contemporary of Mandeville.
