Born in Franconia, the son of a rabbi, Joseph Wolff (1795 1862) was
baptised in 1812. Educated in Hebrew, Greek and Latin, he later
studied Arabic, Syriac and Aramaic in Vienna, and Christian
theology in Rome before being expelled from the city for his
heretical views. He came to England, became a member of the Church
of England, and then embarked on his missionary work. Though he met
with limited evangelical success, the books he went on to publish
made him well known at home. Reissued here is his 1835 account of
travels in the early 1830s through the Middle East and Asia, during
which he experienced robbery and disease, journeyed through the
Himalayas, and was hosted by numerous royal courts. This tale,
exotic and extraordinary, is a remarkable source for those
interested in nineteenth-century orientalism and Christian
missionary zeal."
