  do u mean this guy? never heard of it

  Ma Huan

   

   

  Ma Huan accompanied Zheng He on three of his seven voyages. Proficient in Arabic, he served as a translator. We do not know many details of Ma Huan’s life: he was born in about 1380 and probably died about 1460. His book on his travels Yingyai sheng-lan (The Overall Survey of the Ocean’s Shores) was published in about 1451, and is a rich source of observations about south and southeast Asia. Ma Huan did not accompany Zheng He on any of the voyages which reached East Africa.

  One of the stories Ma Huan brought back from his travels in the west was the story of Moses.

  Ma Huan’s works are available in an English translation by J.G.V. Mills, which the Wilson library has.
