About The Book

Travels in India (Volume 1 and 2) by Jean-Baptiste Tavernier stands as one of the most significant historical accounts of the pre-modern world. Between 1632 and 1668, Tavernier made six journeys from Europe to various parts of Asia, including present-day Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Indonesia. A trader in precious gems and, by some accounts, a physician, Tavernier was one of the foremost European travelers to the 'East'. His observations, often cited by historians, scholars and writers, provide invaluable insights into the period. Tavernier first published his writings in French in 1676. The first scholarly English edition, complete with translation, notes and a biographical sketch of Tavernier by Dr. Valentine Ball (1843-1895), a British civil servant with the Indian Geological Service, appeared in 1889. This present edition, published in 1925, is the second English edition, edited by William Crooke. It builds upon Ball's original translation, incorporating corrections based on subsequent developments in Indian studies. The chronicle offers a rare glimpse into pre-modern India through the eyes of a foreigner. It describes bustling trading centres, vibrant markets, towns and the courts of the time, making it an essential primary source for understanding the historical landscape of the Indian subcontinent during the seventeenth century.

About The Author

Jean-Baptiste Tavernier (1605–1689) was a prominent French merchant and traveler, renowned for his six extensive journeys to Asia. Born into a family of jewelers in Paris, he embarked on his first voyage at a young age, engaging in trade and diplomacy across the East. His acclaimed work, Les Six Voyages, provides a comprehensive account of the diverse cultures and landscapes, he encountered, significantly enhancing European understanding of Asia during the seventeenth century. Tavernier's writings offer a unique perspective on the East, providing invaluable insights into the region's history and customs. He died in 1689, leaving behind a lasting legacy as a pioneering explorer and a key figure in the history of cross-cultural exploration.
