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.
