"Johann von Mandelslo was a friend of Adam Olearius and a former page of the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp. Together Mandelslo and Olearius were sent by the Duke on an embassy to the Russian Czar and to the Shah of Persia [for the purpose of initiating trade relations with Russia, Tartary and Persia]. Mandelslo was authorized to leave the embassy in Persia and to continue his travels to the Far East. He went to Surat, Agra, and Goa in India, where he received great kindness from the English merchants, and he also visited Ceylon. He gives long accounts of the other parts of the Far East, which he did not visit personally. His return was made to England by sea via the Cape of Good Hope, which he visited in 1639" (Hill). Mandelslo's narrative contains substantial information on the Far East. "Before his death, Mandelslo had entrusted his rough notes to Olearius, who subsequently published them bound with his numerous official accounts of the embassy" (Howgego). Following the first publication, Olearius added additional information to subsequent editions. A new edition in French translated by Wicquefort included still more additional material, including an account of the travels of Henri de Feynes to China, Formosa and Japan. The present edition published in Amsterdam in 1727 is a re-issue of the Van der Aa edition of 1719 (published in Leiden); both are celebrated as the best editions, being the most complete and with the largest number of illustrations. The plates include views and plans of London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, Capetown, Goa, Surat, Jedo (Tokyo), St. Helena, Mauritius, Madagascar, the Canary Islands, Java, Congo and elsewhere.

A partir de ahí, tras cobrar vida propia, el viaje fue editado en multiples ocasiones durante el s. XVII, al menos en alemán, holandés, francés, italiano e inglés.Al éxito de la obra contribuyó que tanto Olearius como sus traductores y sucesivos editores, al hilo de la breve descripción de su regreso de Persia yendo a la India y regresando a Europa desde ahí en barco por el cabo de Buena Esperanza, fuesen ampliando el contenido añadiendo información tomada de otras fuentes para describir otros territorios de Asia y de las Indias Orientales en los que Mandelslo no había estado, desde China hasta Japón, pasando por Siam o las Islas Filipinas. También estas modificaciones fueron cobrando vida propia hasta convertir el viaje de regreso en una obra completamente distinta y diferente del relato original de la embajada en Moscú y Persia.Las ediciones más completas de los que pasaron a conocerse como los viajes de Mandelslo, especialmente en lo que se refiere a la disposición de múltiples imágenes para ilustrar aquellos lejanos territorios, son las que Pieter Van der Aa imprimió en francés, en Leiden, en 1719. La narrativa original de Mandelslo la publicó como Voyages très curieux et très renommez, faits en Moscovie, Tartarie et Perse, en dos tomos en un volumen, con paginación corrida, en cuyo t tiutlo no aparecía el nombre de Mandelslo. En cambio, paradójicamente, la esencialmente apócrifa narrativa del viaje de Persia a la India con la descripción del este asiático con toda la suma acumulada de descripciones de aquellos territorios tomada de multiples fuentes, la publicó con el título de Voyages celebres & remarquables, faits de Perse. por Johann Albrecht von Mandelslo en otros dos tomos en un volumen, también con paginación corrida.Pero algo sucedió que no hemos sido ca (.).

Later edition in French. An account of the voyage of the German embassy to Persia in 1633, sponsored by the Duke of Holstein. Olearius, who also accompanied the mission with this friend Mandelslo, first published his account in 1647. While the German ambassadors remained in Persia, Mandelslo continued to India, sailing from Ormuz in 1638. Passing through Surat, he journeyed onto Agra, unfortunately he fails to mention the Taj Mahal which had been under construction for the previous six years, instead fleeing to Lahore, where he hoped to evade a vengeful relative of a man he had killed in Persia. His travels then took him to Goa and Ceylon. His account is full of the exotic, luxurious, immoral, and cruel way of life of the Mogul empire in India, then ruled by Shah Jahan. The plates include fine maps and views of Persia, the Mogul Empire, Japan, and the islands and Dutch outposts of the East Indies, including Sumatra, the Malaccas, Java, Bantam, and Batavia.

The map is fully hand-colored in a contemporary hand. The map is entitled: Nova et Accurata Wolgae Fluminis olim Rha dicti deline atio Auctore Adamo Oleario. / Illustrissimo Domino, Dno. Benedicto Bagge de Berga, Sneco, haec Geographica fluminis Wolgae descriptio humillime offertur. Amsterdam, Apud Janssonio-Waesbergios, et Moses Pitt. [Double-page, [1680?]. [570x650 mm.] Contains 3 cartouches, the map was originally issued by Jan Jansson, Nieuwen atlas of 1658. / "The first edition of Olearius' account of his travels was published in 1647 in Schleswig under the title Offt begehrte Beschreibung der newen orientalischen Rejse, so durch Gelegenheit einer Holsteinischen Legation an d. Konig in Persien geschehen. An extended and restructured edition appeared in 1656: Vermehrte Newe Beschreibung der Muscowitischen und Persischen Reyse, so durch gelegenheit einer Holsteinischern Gesandschafft an den russischen Zaar und Konig in Persien geschehen (reprint with a commentary by D. Lohmeier, Tubingen, 1971). The Vermehrte Newe Beschreibung is divided into six "books" of which the fourth treats the mission's route up to Isfahan, with detailed descriptions of Ardabil, Qazvin, Qom, Kasan, and their stay at the Safavid court. Book five is an encyclopedic description of Persia, covering aspects such as geography, fauna and flora, political institutions, manners, customs and clothing, Safavid history, education, language and script, trade, and religion. The return journey from Isfahan is the subject of book six. Amongst the numerous ethnographic observations, mention should be made of Olearius' depiction of the ?Asura ceremonies and other Shi'ite rituals, including the recitation of a "Machtelnamae" and the celebration of ?Ali's designation as the Prophet's successor ("Chummekater;" p. 435ff., 456ff.). Of interest for the history of printing is the regular insertion of Persian and Turkish quotations in the original script, serving as a model for the later account by Engelbert Kaempfer. The copper plate illustrations are of particular value, especially his detailed city views and the portrait of Shah ?afi. Modern scholars such as Strack, Emerson, and Brancaforte have presented different views on the question of Olearius' objectivity and the extent to which he was affected by contemporary assumptions (Strack; Brancaforte; Emerson). "Olearius provided the first comprehensive description of Persia since antiquity, but his achievements appear less significant when compared with the far broader range and experience of later travelers who wrote after him in the course of the 17 century" (Lohmeier, p. 59). Still, all later travelogues are heavily indebted to him, and his work can be studied as a starting point for the genre. His outstanding contribution to the cartography of Persia is his Nova Delineatio Persiae et Confiniorvm veteri longe accurator edita Anno 1655, the first realistic map of Iran that, in particular, corrects the location and form of the Caspian Sea." â" Encyclopedia Iranica. / Olearius, "Born in 1599 (with the German name Ohlschlegel, later Olschlager), Olearius studied theology, mathematics, astronomy.
