Résumé anglais François Georgeon, A Tatar traveller in the Far East at the beginning of the twentieth century. Abdurresid Ibrahim, a Tatar native of western Siberia, was an 'âlim instructed in Medina, who worked for a while as a kadi (judge) at the Spiritual Assembly of Orenburg. After several years spent in Istanbul and again in Russia, he undertook in 1907 a long travel in the Far East, crossing through Mandchuria, Japan (where he was to stay for several months), Corea, China, the Indonesian Archipelago, the Eastern Indies, and the sacred lands of Islam, before reaching the Ottoman capital in 1910. The account of his travellings was published in Istanbul between 1910 and 1913 in two volumes. It is a unique document, not only for the informatioas it gives about the Muslim communities in Asia, but also because it shows how the Russian Turks considered Japan's rising power and what they were expecting from it for their emancipation.
