Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s 10th century Risala contains important data for scholars active in ancient Germanic studies: Here readers can find an eyewitness account of the Rus’, a community of pagan Scandinavian merchants and subsequent namesake of modern Russia. Specialists in the field are overwhelmingly dependent upon translations of the text: Very few scholars in ancient Germanic studies read Middle Arabic. Whether for scholastic discussion or in preparation for a new translation, scholars are wise to survey extant editions of the text and to consult accompanying supplementary material. By way of the present survey, the authors hope to help simplify this process.
