Description

Explore the remarkable life of George Strachan (1572-1635) through this scholarly work from Edinburgh University Press. As an early 17th century Scottish Humanist, Orientalist, and traveler, Strachan lived a life of extraordinary breadth. This book utilizes newly discovered archival material to provide fresh perspectives on his historical impact and his role within Scottish religious cultures. Readers will follow the journey of this Catholic exile as he navigated the Catholic courts of Europe, serving as both a scholar and a spy. The narrative expands as Strachan turned his attention eastward, embarking on a 22-year journey across the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. By connecting the cultures and religions of the East and West, this book offers a deep look into the historical connections of the seventeenth century. It is an essential resource for those interested in Scottish history, religious studies, and the history of global exploration.
