Jean Chardin 1643 – 1713 was a French jeweller and traveler whose ten-volume book The Travels of Sir John Chardin is regarded as one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Persia and the Near East in general. "Chardin’s massive work along with many other accounts of travel to exotic lands contributed to formation of one of the great streams of European knowledge leading to what Paul Hazard called "la crise de la conscience européenne" and hence to the Enlightenment. Some of his ideas for example on the influence of climate on man had a considerable impact and his work was read and commented on favorably by a number of great 18th-century figures like Charles-Louis de Montesquieu Edward Gibbon Voltaire Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Jones."
