Rare second edition of Chardin's travels regarded as being one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Persia and the Near East in general. "Thought to have been read by writers such as Montesquieu and Rousseau Chardin's account stands apart from those of other travellers to the region Caucasus at this time through its awareness of cultural difference and relativity and in its desire to place accuracy above romanticism." Speake The Literature of Travel and Exploration 1.Chardin set out from Paris for Persia and India. He reached Ispahan 1673 spent four years in Persia visited India and returned by the Good Hope in 1677. The first volume contains the trip from Paris to Isfahan the second contains a particular description of Isfahan and the relation of the author's two voyages from Ispahan to Bander-Abassi the third contains a general description of the Persian empire and the particular descriptions of the sciences and arts which are in use therein of political military and civil government.Born in Paris in a Hugenot Protestant family Jean Chardin 1643-1713 undertook his travels to Persia because of his father's position as a jeweler and shareholder in the French East India Company. The younger Chardin set out in 1664 traveling through Turkey the Black Sea Georgia and Armenia. Soon after his arrival in Persia he received a commission to create jewelry for Shah Abbas II who died in 1666 and was succeeded by Shah Safi. After witnessing the latter's coronation Chardin went on India and finally returned to Paris in 1670. In 1671 he published an account of the coronation and in the same year set off for Persia again arriving in Isfahan in 1673 and remaining there for several years before once more visiting India and returning home in 1677. With the persecution of the Hugenots in France he moved to England in 1680"Travel restarted with 17th-century missionaries whose medical and pedagogical expertise helped counterbalance Orthodox or pagan reservations. Dominican Prefects Dortelli D'Ascoli and Giovanni da Lucca 1630s extended Giorgio Interiano's description of Circassia and Abkhazia. Theatine proselytisers targeted Mingrelia/western Georgia Capuchins the eastern provinces - the Vatican's Fide Press further contributed by printing the first Georgian books Chikobava/Vateishvili. Many including mission-head Don Pietro Avitabile 1626-1638 recounted their experiences. Prefect to Mingrelia Joseph Marie Zampi a 23-year denizen from approximately 1645 contributed a third significant source in his description of Mingrelian religious practice. This he handed to Jean Chardin 1643-1713 in 1672. A French traveller who became English! ambassador in Holland Chardin translated and incorporated it as a substantial part of his own description of a sometimes perilous journey through Transcaucasia 1672-3 which reflects Ottoman and Persian influence in western and eastern parts respectively - a Turkish organized slave-trade flourished from various Mingrelian ports. Linguistically Zampi revealingly observed that the ecclesiastical language Georgian was as difficult for even the Mingrelian priesthood to understand as Latin was for Italian peasants!"

Jean John Chardin 1643-1713 was a French jeweller and traveller whose Travels of Sir John Chardin is regarded as one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Safavid Iran and the near East in general. Only the first of ten volumes was translated into English which was published concurrently with the French version; this volume covers the author's journey from Paris to Ispahan and contains the author's half-length portrait by Loggan in addition to 18 copper plates mostly folding. In 1664 Chardin started for the East Indies and journeyed by Constantinople and the Black Sea reaching Persia in 1666. That same year the shah Abbas II made Chardin his agent for the purchase of jewels. In the middle of 1667 Chardin visited India and returned to Persia in 1669. The next year he arrived in Paris. He issued an account of some events to which he was an eyewitness in Persia entitled 'Le Couronnement de Soleiman Troisième' Paris 1671. A learned nobleman Mirza Sefi a prisoner in his own palace at Isfahan had entertained Chardin instructed him in the Persian language and assisted him in this work. Chardin again started for the East in 1671 and was at Constantinople from March to July of 1672. A quarrel between the grand vizier and the French ambassador made the position of French subjects dangerous and Chardin escaped across the Black Sea. He stayed at Ispahan for four years and made various journeys throughout the land from the Caspian to the Persian Gulf and the river Indus visiting several Indian cities. In 1681 Chardin emigrated to England and a few years later he was appointed to the East India Company; during this time he had a chance to work on the publication of his memoirs assisted by John Evelyn.

Chardin apparently refused to include his Indian travels as a consequence of his imperfect understanding of Indian religion and culture. The first edition to include his Indian travels was published in Amsterdam in 1711." This edition being the first complete edition of Chardin's travels. "Chardin traveled extensively in the East from 1665 to 1677 trading and acting as advisor to various Moslem officials. His observations were quite perspective and were considered by many of his contemporaries to be the best account of the Moslem lands that had yet been published A Hugenot he settled in England in 1681 where he was appointed court jeweller to Charles II. He became a member of the Royal Society in 1682 and served as the King's envoy to Holland in 1684. He died in 1712 and was buried in Westminster Abbey. The First volume of his journal was published in London in 1686. The complete work did not appear until this edition which Brunet considers the most beautiful." - John Howell Books.

Jean Chardin 1643-1713 was the son of a wealthy Parisian jeweller. Since he was bent on travelling to the East he proposed to his father to go and set up a diamond-trade with the East. On his first trip in 1665 he travelled through Persia and to Isfahan the Persian capital. There he gained access to the court of Shah Abbas II to whom he became the personal merchant jeweller. After extensive travelling through Persia studying the religion and culture he returned to Paris in 1670. Later in 1671 Chardin left again for the East and meeting with many difficulties and dangers took two years to reach Persia by way of Constantinople and Southern Russia. From Persia he proceeded to India and returned to France by way of the Cape of Good Hope in 1677. Among the numerous fine engravings are folding views of Tiflis Erivan Isfahan Persepolis etc. and some beautiful plates of architecture and costumes.
