Accounts of travel are a popular and accessible source for research on historical relations between “East” and “West” and are attractive for specialists and non-specialists alike. In the pre-modern period a large number of such accounts were published all over Europe, and almost without exception these volumes are now scarce and priceless.
IDC Publishers has now brought together 104 travel accounts from various libraries, including the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg. This unique IDC collection offers a representative sample of Western travelogues primarily in English, French, and German. Predominantly covering the Ottoman Empire, the collection also stretches into Ethiopia, Central Asia, Afghanistan, North Africa, and of course Iran.
The second part of the collection consists of travels undertaken from the year 1800.
This collection is part of the IDC series The Eastern Question.
