- The volume is the culmination of research dating back to 2010. Through a thoroughgoing analysis of the English chaplains serving in Aleppo, Syria, over 120 years, the book presents the first sustained argument for seeing early modern ‘Orientalism’ as an encounter between European and Ottoman intellectual traditions. The book draws on an eclectic range of sources (letters, company archives, manuscript colophons, printed books) comprising material in more than twenty-seven libraries in seven different countries. The research also combines the use of European accounts (in Latin, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and German) with sources in Arabic and Samaritan Hebrew.
