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.

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!"

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.

1681ref. 60953Genff Widerhold 1681. Folio 340 x 210 mm. Recently bound in a magnificent pastiche-binding of brown half calf with gilt red leather title-label to elaborately gilt spine. Vellum corners. Title-page with stains. A few marginal repairs not affecting text. 8 82 pp. Exceedingly rare first German translation of Chardin’s “Le Couronnement de Soleimaan troisieme” 1671 - his report on the coronation of the new Persian king and what happened during the first years of his reign. Returning to Persia on the way home to Europe Chardin witnessed the coronation of Suleiman III in 1669. Chardin’s works are considered some of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Iran and the Subcontinent in general and the present work offered Europe a rare glimpse into the customs of the Royal house of Persia. “Chardin details the ceremonies in the present work with a preface that laid out the parallels between the French and Persian monarchies. Chardin portrays a filial bond between the two monarchies. The Persian shah he declares calls “Your Majesty Louis XIV his brother” due to their shared grandeur. Chardin proclaims “The Kind of France is the greatest Emperor in Europe as he the shah is the most powerful Prince in Asia.” He emphasizes his admiration for Persia and its likeness to France: “Of all the vast Empires of the Orient … there is not one that should not yield to Persia for the temperature of the air for genius that is more reasonable than other places and is closest to our own and for all the excellent and rare things that are found there in abundance.” Mokhberi The Persian Mirror 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. Chardin set out in 1664 traveling through Turkey the Black Sea Georgia and Armenia.

1811ref. 89644Paris: Le Normant 1811. Fine. Le Normant Paris 1811 12.5 x 20.5 cm pour les 10 volumes de texte - 345 x 52 cm pour le volume d'atlas 10 volumes reliés 1 atlas Generally regarded as the most complete early edition of Chardins Travels this imposing publication in ten volumes with a separate atlas was prepared in 1811 by Louis-Mathieu Langlès. The orientalist added a historical survey of Persia from the earliest times and an extensive critical apparatus confronting Chardins text with the historical geographical and philological scholarship of his own day. It remained the standard edition until Philip Stewarts complete modernised and annotated text appeared in 2018. The ten text volumes are bound in contemporary full tree calf smooth spines richly decorated with gilt ornamental rolls and tools black morocco-grained calf lettering- and numbering-pieces gilt rolls at the headcaps partly faded gilt borders to the boards marbled endpapers and marbled edges. The atlas bound separately as customary for its folio format is preserved in contemporary half tan calf over marbled paper boards smooth spine decorated with gilt rolls and tools brown lettering-piece and red morocco title label to the front board marbled edges. Some rubbing and restoration to the spine. The first text volume presents several printing peculiarities: the pagination jumps from 235 to 256 without loss while pages 213-220 are bound out of sequence. All the illustrations in the atlas including the portrait and map were subsequently renumbered from 1 to 65 in blue ink through a stencil. Some foxing to the plates. The atlas comprises a portrait of Chardin a large folding map and 83 views and figures on 63 plates numbered 1-82 with a plate 81 bis and several errors in numbering; nine are large folding plates and most of the figures occupy a full page. The frontispiece portrait was engraved by Jean-César Macret after a drawing by Charles-François-Adrien Macret. An attractive copy in handsome contemporary bindings the atlas bound differently from the text volumes as is customary for its larger format. The son of a Huguenot jeweller established on the Place Dauphine Jean Chardin left Paris in 1664 on the first of the journeys that were to take him through Persia and India. He gained access to the Safavid court where Shah Abbas II appointed him a royal merchant and commissioned jewellery from him. Returning to France in 1670 he set out again the following year and reached Isfahan in 1673 accompanied by the draughtsman Guillaume-Joseph Grelot. His long residence command of Persian and access to the court enabled him to move far beyond the conventional travel narrative and produce an encyclopaedic account of Safavid Persia its government religion sciences arts and daily life. Chardin returned to Europe at a time of increasing hostility towards French Protestants and settled in England in 1681. He was knighted by Charles II and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society the following year. He subsequently devoted much of his life to arranging the vast body of material gathered during his travels and years of residence in Persia. This prolonged process of composition accounts for the exceptionally complex publishing history of the Travels. A first part appeared in London in 1686 but it was not until the Amsterdam edition of 1711 that the greater part of the work was brought together. Anxious to sell the book in Roman Catholic countries the publisher Jean-Louis de Lorme had nevertheless removed a number of passages particularly those in which Chardins Calvinism was most openly expressed. Prosper Marchand restored them together with further manuscript material and The Coronation of Soliman III in his edition of 1735 the first complete edition of Chardins published writings. Almost a century later Louis-Mathieu Langlès returned to this textual tradition and subjected it to the new methods of institutional Oriental scholarship. Founder and first Le Normant hardcover
