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!"

1811réf. B4638Paris: Le Normant c. 1811. A fine example of this work. Plates and text are in very good condition; generally clean and crisp. . Edition: New Edition Binding: Atlas volume rebacked tastefully in half calf saving the original marbled boards. Decorative red and gilt centerpiece on upper board with gilt title. Ten 8vo 216x135mm text volumes with full brown cloth boards. With black calf labels with gilt text. Notes: Text is in French. This 1811 edition is based on Chardin’s classic account of life and society in Persia complete with new plates coincided with renewed French imperial ambitions aimed at rivaling the British possessions in India. Chardin a Frenchman was the son of a jeweller. He set out in company with a Lyon merchant named Raisin in 1665 for Persia and India. After a highly successful journey during which he had received the patronage of Shah Abbas II of Persia he returned to France in 1670. He set out again for Persia in August 1671. This second journey was much more adventurous than the first and did not reach Isfahan till June 1673. In Isfahan he was appointed the Shah's personal jeweler by Suleiman I. During this time he was allowed to engage in an extended tour through much of Persia. Through the course of this tour Chardain was able to study the culture government and religion in detail. After four years spent in research throughout Persia he again visited India and returned to Europe. In 1681 he settled in London where he was appointed jeweller to the court of Charles II. Sir John Chardin's narrative has received the highest praise from the most competent authorities for its fullness comprehensiveness and fidelity; and it furnished Montesquieu Rousseau Gibbon and Helvétius with most important material.

réf. 85524Paris Le Normant Imprimeur-Libraire 1811. . Folio. With 85 engravings on 64 sheets 9 folding including 1 map portrait of Chardin 18 sheets with double-illustrations and 1 sheet with 4; light waterstain on lower margin of several leaves. Near contemporary half polished calf over marbled boards; a bit rubbed. A very good copy of the atlas from the most desirable edition enhanced with new and larger plates. 'Chardin was a Huguenot who was forced to emigrate to England. He was knighted by Charles II and on his death was buried in Westminster Abbey. His first visit to the East was made in 1665 at the age of twenty-two when he both gratified a love of travelling and carried on his trade as a dealer in jewels. His more important voyage was made in 1671. His route differed from that usually taken by travellers to the East Indies in that he proceeded by way of the Black Sea and the countries bordering thereon' Cox I p 249-250. 'Chardin set out for Persia for a second time in August 1671 but on this occasion diverted through Smyrna and Constantinople and took the Black Sea Route to Caucasia Mingrelia and Georgia finally arriving at Esfahan in June 1673. In Georgia he heard of a race of warlike women the Amazons who had at some time in the recent past invaded a kingdom to the northwest. He remained in Persia for four years as he says 'chiefly following the court in its removals but also making some particular journeys. as well as studying the language.' He apparently knew Esfahan better than Paris and visited nearly every part of the country. His account of the Persian court and his business transactions with the shah are of considerable interest. In 1677 he proceeded to India afterwards returning to France by way of the Cape of Good Hope' Howgego C102; His second and more notable voyage to Persia is important because it is in the account of this voyage that he describes life in late Safavid Persia' Ghani p. 71. Includes among others lovely views of Tbilisi Tiflis Erevan Ispahan Persepolis as well as Georgian and Persian costumes views of lavish palace rooms and the Coronation of Suleyman.

1811réf. 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
