Abstract
In five chapters Brancaforte maps out new territory concerning the German Baroque polymath, Adam Olearius, and his travels to Persia and concomitant publications. Olearius, a leading intellectual figure at the court of Gottorf, was the first to provide an accurate, eye-witness account of the geography and ethnography of Persia to seventeenth-century Europe, and Brancaforte reads Olearius's texts and images in fresh, new ways. His careful readings provide innovative models for studying Olearius and his oeuvre, demonstrating a particularly fruitful employment of Anglo-American interdisciplinarity when analyzing the images and words of these publications.
