Petachia(s), Moses bex-Jacob, a learned rabbi who flourished towards the latter half of the 12th cen- tury (Regensburg), is the author of the C?lSf1 2^30, also called CPnrS "? -*!2D, in which he relates his travels, made between 1075 and 1090 through Poland, Russia, Tartary, Syria, Mesopotamia, ancient Syria, Persia, etc., and wherein he describes the manners and usages of his co-religionists. It was first printed at Prague (1595), and reprinted by Wagenseil, entitled Itincrarium cum versione Wagcnseilil. in his Sex exerci- tationes varii arguments (Altorf, 1G87; Zolkiew, 1792). It has been translated into French, with notes, by E. Car- moly, Tour de Monde de Petachia de Ratisbonne, traduit en Francais et accompagne du texte et des notes historiques, geographiques, et litteraires (Paris, 1831); into German by D. Ottensosser, with a Hebrew commentary (Fiirth, 1814) ; into English by Dr. A. Benisch. See Fiirst, Blbl. Jud. iii, 79 sq. ; Wolf, Bill. Hebr. i, 888 ; iii, 95G ; Basnage, Histoire ds Juifs, p.
