520 | |a An up-to-date study of one of early modern Scotland’s most remarkable travellersExamines the life of George Strachan (1572 – 1635), Scottish Humanist scholar, Orientalist and travellerDraws on a wealth of newly discovered archival material to offer new insights into Strachan’s life and workExplores Strachan’s key role in advancing European scholarly understanding of Islam and Arabic cultureThe book explains the voyages that the Catholic exile took to many of the Catholic courts of Europe as a scholar and spy before turning eastwards to embark upon a 22 year journey around the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires. By becoming fully literate in Arabic and Farsi he was able to gain a unique knowledge of Eastern societies. Strachan’s collection of Arabic and Farsi texts on Islam, philosophy and humanities, which he translated and sent to Europe for the advancement of European knowledge of Islam and Islamic societies, became Strachan’s real intellectual legacy.Tom McInally provides further insight into King James VI’s dealing with the papacy in the years immediately before his accession to the English throne. He explains European traders’ involvement in the Silk Road and provides an insight into the early ventures of the East India Company in Iran and India | ||
