"Thought to have been read by writers such as Montesquieu and Rousseau Chardin's account stands apart from those of other travellers to the region Caucasus at this time through its awareness of cultural difference and relativity and in its desire to place accuracy above romanticism." 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!"
