Sir John Chardin's Travels in Persia is an abridged translation of
the original French edition, which describes in great detail the
people, places, politics, governments, and culture John Chardin
encountered during his many years of travel in the Near East. It
was originally published in full in 1711 under the title Voyages de
monsieur le chevalier Chardin en Perse, et autres lieux de
l'Orient, or The Travels of Sir John Chardin in Persia and the
Orient. It is considered an authority among academics; Persian
scholar John Emerson said, " Chardin's] information on Safavid
Persia outranks that of all other Western writers in range, depth,
accuracy, and judiciousness." The complete works have never been
translated in English, though there are many editions. This volume
contains the hard-to-find original 1720 translation, presented in
two parts. SIR JOHN CHARDIN (1643-1713), also known as Jean
Chardin, was a French jeweler and traveler who authored the
ten-volume book The Travels of Sir John Chardin, one of the most
well-regarded early scholarly works on the Near East and Persia by
a Westerner. Chardin was trained to be a jeweler like his father,
but instead set out with a fellow merchant for Persia and India in
1664 at the ripe age of 21. He spent most of his time traveling in
Persia from 1664-1673, before finally settling in England to escape
the French prosecution of Protestants in 1681. It was there that he
published the first part of The Travels of Sir John Chardin in
1686, which was presented in full in Amsterdam in 1711, two years
before his death.
